Part 1 –
#1 – Are there many small businesses in your area?
Yes, there are quite a few small businesses in my area. These can range from small mom-and-pop shops to independent boutiques and specialty stores.
#2 – Do you prefer shopping at small stores or big stores?
It depends on what I’m shopping for. For everyday items and convenience, I tend to prefer bigger stores with more selection and lower prices. However, when I’m looking for something unique or special, I enjoy shopping at small stores where I can find one-of-a-kind items and support local businesses.
#3 – Why do some people prefer to shop at small businesses?
Some people prefer to shop at small businesses because they value supporting local communities and independent entrepreneurs. Small businesses often offer unique and personalized products and services, and shopping at these businesses can help to promote diversity and competition in the marketplace.
#4 – Would you ever like to run your own small business?
While I admire and respect those who run their own small businesses, it is not something that personally interests me as a career or lifestyle. I prefer to work in a different field, but I am still happy to support small businesses in my community as a customer and advocate.
#5 – When was the last time you bought something from a small business?
I actually just bought something from a small business last week. I purchased a handmade scarf from a local boutique as a gift for a friend. It was a bit more expensive than a similar item I could have found at a big-box store, but I felt good about supporting a small business and buying a unique and high-quality product.
