There is no doubt that these days the small local
shops
can be difficult to compete with the large supermarkets, The question is what are the impacts of this
unfair competition on the local communities? In this
essay, I am going to discuss What could be done to improve the situation.
In terms of problems, Nowadays there are many reasons behind this
issue. Firstly
, The small local shop had a limited variety of the different species, Even for those items which are available, there was limited stock from each compared with the large supermarket stock availability. Secondly
, the size of the small market does not fit the people who consider shopping as a journey. The main reason given to support this
claim is that the buyers got more attracted to the item's display and visibility. In addition
to the ,planogram the large supermarkets could provide very attractive offers to their customers which the small local shop can't do the same because of the difference in the price margin between both shops
. To Illustrate, The Large market purchasers could get extra discounts and free-of-charge goods (bonus) as they purchased large quantities , the Small shops
which are only purchasing very limited quantities didn't get such
discounts so they couldn't compete in price & offers
.
In Conclusion, The government should set a plan to support small businesses Correct word choice
and offers
such
as local shops
if they face bankruptcy it will increase the unemployment rate and would have a great negative impact on the local community so prophylactic actions are much better.Submitted by aya88.issa on
