Can you find time to do 3 things?
|
|
|
|
Hello - Christmas,
New Year's, Holidays, PMA@CES, all those are behind you
now . . . admit it, things are slower than you'd like
and you can make the time NOW to make a change that will
improves your position and our industry. Three simple
quick things that can make a difference, |
|
|
|
|
1. Write your Congressperson OR call their
office
Tell them why the sales tax issue is
important to your business, to your
community and to your state. Remind them of
the vacant retail space around you and how
that drags down the employment in your area.
Let them know this issue makes a difference
to your community and the people that elect
them! Here's a like to the letter PRO
members delivered to Congressional offices
last month. Even if you're a PRO member and
signed their submission, another
personalized letter will help push this
through. It's of critical importance to the
future of retail and the future of our
communities.
Remind your legislators that the internet
sales tax exemption takes much-needed
revenue from their home state. |

2. If you sell hardware . . . check out this
article
Article It talks about Target's
demand to manufacturers they protect Target
from Showrooming. Target has opened the
door. Pick two of your biggest hardware
manufacturers and call or write them NOW
that you too need protection from this
predatory practice. Send them this link to
the article - you now have Target and the
Wall Street Journal on your side. Your
suppliers need to hear that they will soon
only have Amazon as their sole retailer . .
