Local shops can play the 'giants' at their own game

New website encourages small, independent traders to get on the web and push their products ...

Take a tip from the supermarkets

Village shops and local traders have been under threat from the supermarket giants for years as slowly but surely, the 'big boys' move in and take the lion's share of business.

How can a small shop possibly compete with a supermarket's international suppliers, bulk buying capacity, massive advertising budgets and inernet delivery services?

One solution is to play them at their own game, and get on the web!
