Online Shopping vs. Big box stores

As the popularity of online shopping increases, big box stores are continuously declining to near-extinction. Countless articles and reports of empty shopping malls are listed by seemingly every news source. And there are endless predictions of big box store closures from all major news outlets, too. It seems that every quarter, there is another announcement of bankruptcy, store closures, or of massive layoffs.

But small businesses are here to stay

Fortunately, many small businesses are unlikely to be the victims of the same fate as big box stores. Service-oriented small businesses are particularly difficult to find online. Therefore, are very unlikely to suffer much economic fallout from the closures of big box stores. If anything, the closure of so many big box stores has been better for small businesses. At Rose in Phoenix AZ, we keep our overhead low and we are family-owned, so we can keep our expenses down.

Why are we successful?

One reason for service-oriented business success during the downfall of big box stores is that they offer the best kinds of service in the most convenient way. These are the small mom-and-pop shops you’ve come to love over the years and with tailored, one-of-a-kind amenities that you are simply not likely to find elsewhere. Of course, there are some services that are irreplaceable. You certainly wouldn’t be able to have your lawn landscaped or your hair cut by any online retailer without local support. Rose has professional Tailors at each location to make an alteration on the spot with your designer rental.

Why you love us

Additionally, the best part of small, service-oriented businesses is that they are highly convenient and right around the corner. If you want a last-minute tailored suit for your teenager’s formal dance or a rental tuxedo for your upcoming wedding, finding it tailored and measured to fit will be easy in a brick and mortar building. If you are lucky enough to find any similar services online, you are then forced to wait for the items to arrive due to lengthy shipping times, or you will pay additional costs to have these items shipped faster.

On the other hand…

In the worst-case scenario, if you find some of these items online, they are shipped to you incorrectly and you are then made to return the purchase, thus causing further difficulties. Online Tuxedo rentals for your wedding suit is scary. Even renting your Prom Tuxedo online has to be a gamble with all the packages being taken from homes. Please think twice before you rent a tux online.

Rose Tuxedo is here to stay

One other reason small businesses will fare better during the closure of big box stores is that they typically have smaller overhead costs. Small businesses are usually family-owned. And while they are profitable, their goal is to maintain their business in the long-run. Not just short-term profits. This means owners keep their overhead costs low to benefit both themselves and their customers simultaneously. It is not merely to please stockholders like big box stores tend to do.
