1) The National Retail Foundation predicts 150,000.00 stores will go out of business. So, your local favorite boutique might not be there in the future.  This is going to force consumers to turn to online to find what they need.

 

2) The stores that remain in business will be very careful with the inventory levels that they keep so you are going to see a lot of bare shelves forcing consumers once again to turn to online to find what they need.

 

3) Only the fittest is going to survive this time leaving you with a lot less competition as you see many online stores that had numbers to hit and overhead such as inventory go out of business.

 

4) You hold no inventory so your investment in minimum.  History shows that starting a business during a recession can be one of the best times to create a business

 

5) In today's day and age you have no where to go but up!
