The hobby shop industry were is it going?

Well even though I love the Remote Control business I have been a hobby shop owner for about 20 years and I have come to a conclusion that the internet is the only way to really survive in the business. There are so many online stores even though you match prices and give great customer support people like to shop from there home. There are people that love to go to shops to and look at what they are buying, but the online shoppers out weigh the local hobby shops. The funny thing is that i has an indoor off road track, indoor carpet track, and outdoor off road track. Now that I decided to close the shop because the people you help and try to help the most they still buy online, and don't get me wrong you do have loyal customers. You can not expect to get all purchases, but you at least hope they will give thou a shot at getting there product first. The other funny part is that they expect you to have every part in stock, but there are way too many parts and they are not always in stock. I have too admit there is always human error too you have to factor that in to the equation. I know then you say why don't you add an online store too, but here is the problem not only is that a big task you have to stay up on prices everyday they are always changing. New products are coming out at such a fast pace and now the distributors have there own website pricing margins are getting thinner. Then you have the Hobby King that sells batteries, electronics, and vehicles cheaper than the hobby shop can pay for them, Well enough complaining, but for all the hobby shops that understand how tough its getting god luck and hang in there hopefully somehow there will be a change.

          Due to its very small size, the Proto-X has a built-in LiPo battery
            that is not designed for replacement.  Attempting to remove or
            replace the Lipo battery will likely damage the quadcopter. In
            addition, precise placement of the battery is critical for proper
            CG, balance and performance and isn't recommended for consumer
            replacement.

Lets stand up and show the Government they can't control everything

Okay I was just told that it is impossible to become a millionaire with out the government getting there share. I am really think that everyone is sick of taxes and more taxes. So I really think I have a way to pull this off, but I have to make sure all my followers are on board. Please if you read this get all your friends to sign up too my blog so when I announce this idea it will be a huge hit. This will only cost a dollar and the beautiful thing is that we will make thew papers and the news for just a an idea that made  a million dollars without the government getting one penny. So if you are sick of always paying taxes and if you own a business and feel the squeeze that the government sticks to you and all the taxes we have to pay. It is time to get on this list please tell everyone because this could be fun to get our revenge. Let the list begin.

Ending the War Between Sales and Marketing

Sales departments tend to believe that marketers are out of touch with what’s really going on with customers. Marketing believes the sales force is myopic—too focused on individual customer experiences, insufficiently aware of the larger market, and blind to the future. In short, each group often undervalues the other’s contributions.

To all hobby shop owners may the force be with you.

Well now that I have seen about everything and been in the business for a long time that is the Remote Control hobby business. I just get so frustrated that I can not convince all the customers to buy local instead of the internet I have written articles like this before that has got a lot of attention. The thing that stumps me is that I can get the same product for the same price but most of the time I can get it a little cheaper. All we ask is give us a shot t the product you need we will do out best to help. Maybe I am just get burnt out from being in this business for so long and doing everything I can to make all of my customers happy. Maybe I have just got to personal and help to many people and just run the shop like a business man. As we all know business is really tough right now and you have to stay on top of your game the good thing about the hobby industry people will always buy there toys. Just maybe it is time for me to sell out and move on and let someone else that has the love for this hobby to get in there show there enthusiasm and make Redneck RC the hobby shop of the future.
