I think businesses would be more profitable if they changed their prices and or products because of the facts that Kendra brought up. The economy has changed the population her town see's during the summer time which consisted of more people in the past. Stores would see this coming and jack up their prices, knowing it would all work out because people would be there to buy their products. Kendra brings up a good point that the stores aren't thinking about the locals and the people that have been there as long as they have, and some even longer than them. Selling the product is only one concern, as the right place, price, and time are just as important to a product selling and selling successfully. These stores in her town should realize they will improve their income and profits if they lower their pricing and help out the people who are buying their products year round, not just in the summer time. I don't think it is good for a town to only rely on tourists to earn profit because it is too much of a risk and is just setting you up for a problem if the number of tourists aren't exactly where you want/need it to be.
What would be the best move for these businesses to improve their sales?
