As former outdoor industry reps, and managers we have been into 1,000's of shops all over the country. When talking to shop staff and owners we were always hearing similar stories about their loss of in store traffic, overstock concerns and lost sales as a result of discounting all over the internet. We'd ask "what are you doing about it" and often would hear crickets.
We knew shops needed to be able to compete better and gain exposure beyond their brick and mortar locations or they would slowly disappear. Yes most shops have websites but you simply can't have a website and expect more sales or on line traffic .
Individually shops have a tough time competing with all the deals easily found on-line, and ease of purchase. Most local shops will offer competitive deals in store but they face a finite amount of walk in and internet traffic resulting in less opportunity to expose deals on sale and overstock items.
In 2018 we created Quiverbroker. We thought that multiple shops all advertising their deals in one industry specific place would be powerful and better exposes their deals to a much larger audience resulting in a better chance for more sales. Today Quiverbroker gets thousands of new and returning users every month.
Our original core values have not changed - We are committed to bringing the consumer the best deals on products and drive those sales to the local shop.
We all love deals but we think that supporting your local shop is important to your community. If local shops go under the whole social thing will crumble.
We'd love to have your shop join. We do not charge shops to list unlimited items. Click the link in the header or the LOCAL SHOP image below and sell more!
