Arroyo Grande, CA, United States – September 28, 2018 /PressCable/ —

Despite all the doom and gloom predictions for retail stores, some surveys are showing trends that promise a boon for forward thinking retail store owners. For example, the National Retail Federation shows that there was a net increase in store openings of more than 4,000 last year. The report also shows that for every retail store that closes its doors, 2.7 new businesses are opening theirs.

“It’s true that online retailers like Amazon disrupted and changed the retail industry,” says a spokesman from FindUsLocal.com, an online local business directory that provides local shop owners and restaurants a free way to be seen on the internet, “but for some smart local business owners, it has only strengthened their business.”

He says that because so many products are bought online, many consumers are craving the experience they only get when shopping locally. “The smart retailers are offering local shoppers an experience that they can’t get when shopping online, and it’s paying off.”

He says they’re using a combination of innovative thinking and social media to create these experiences.

“Of course, if shoppers can’t find a local business online, they’re not going to visit the store,” he says. “And that’s why every small business owner should set up a free local business listing.”

He says the process is easy. Simply log onto FindUsLocal.com, find the business, claim it as the owner, and fill in the details. “It’s a simple process, but the rewards will be new business, and an online presence. Something local shop owners can’t survive without in today’s culture.”
