I shop at small businesses
because I want to support
local businesses.
Huge corporations
will almost always
supply a comparable product/service
for a lower cost.
There are only so many units
I can buy from any small store,
however.
Which is why I LOVE
when small businesses
have
virtual tip options
at their online stores.
I can ‘purchase’
a virtual tip
or support our store option
at checkout.
The store
receives extra income,
pure profit,
and I feel that,
based on NO proof,
the store will take extra care
with my order.
It is win-win.
Consider offering
online customers
a virtual tip option.
