[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 2131965, member: 85"]I have a small store in a rural area, an hour from the big towns. I opened twice in April for appointment sales. A lot of our local stores have been selling on Facebook Marketplace for pick up. Something your friend might want to look into. Tuesday, I was downtown to take pictures for a newspaper insert. Opened the store and did quite well. There were a few other stores like the kitchen store, shoe store, the pawn shop, and another antique store also open. I was open Fri, Sat and today for about 3 hours each day. In 3 days I did what I did on Tues. People are out. On Tuesday, all were locals. The last 3 days only one couple was local. The rest were from out of town. People just wanted to get out. Not sure whether I'm ready to open for the out of towners. I ran an ad in our local paper this past Friday - Open by Appointment. Will see how that works out.[/QUOTE]
