Thanks Dan! Amazon is far from perfect, but they are the Walmart of the web. Small players need to be better, and hopefully know that Amazon.com is not the standard for which they should aim.

Forget lowering prices, if you cannot get customers into your business than you really need to take a step back and review your current marketing efforts. What can be done to get more of your target customers in the door - and to keep that
