How can I grow and improve my small business?

Don't just offer prices slightly better than the avg bear. That worked great in the past because savings are savings. But times have changed now. In this economy, even though a lot of businesses are offering cheaper prices than in the past, a lot of businesses aren't offering super deals and it's not good enough for a lot of the customers now. It's not that they're waiting for super deals to happen ( some are, but most aren't waiting ). It's that they either don't wanna risk spending money in this economy or they don't have enough to spend now. But if you offer super deals in these times, customers will find a way to buy, regardless of the economy. You have to know the key to the customers wallet and in this bad economy, I'm afraid that's about the only key because customers minds right now are too closed minded with the economy being bad. But on the bright side, a company offering super deals at a time like this, it won't take long before a lot of customers from similar companys switch to your company, plus the mass amount of free referrals because the deals are way too good compared to the competitor companys. The super deal rumor will spread so rapidly in this bad economy.. So in other words, your company would get tons of customers for sure.
