Before starting a business in a small town, make sure you are filling a need. If the town already has more than one barber, chances are your shop will not turn a profit, and if you are selling a product that is unfamiliar or costly, you may be jeopardizing your business success. Sometimes building a business in a small town is more difficult because of the limited customer base, competition, and the lack of interest in your goods and services. Finding a product may be your biggest challenge, and once you find one, marketing is the next step.

Once you decide on a business you will need retail space, which can be on a main street or you can operate a business from your home. The farther you are from the center of town, the more advertising you’ll need so people will know where you’re located.

One way to solve this problem is to have your own website on the Internet. Even though your business may cater primarily to the townspeople, others may want to visit your shop and check out your products. So, include directions to your business on your website. You can also use billboards, signs, listings in the local newspaper as well as business cards, a logo and a sign on your business front. Word of mouth advertising is still the most powerful tool you have in a small town. If you offer quality customer service, people will tell others in the community. If you can drop-ship items, the Internet is a great tool to use for advertising. Market in every way you can in order to create brand loyalty.

Once you have established your business in a retail space or in your home you must maintain inventory, attend to the layout of the store, the products, and customer service. You may need to hire some employees. In small towns, you may be limited in earning capacity due to the income level of residents, the need for your products, and the cost of shopping in your store. You may want to adjust your prices in order to sell more merchandise. A market analysis can help you make the necessary adjustments.

Running a business in a small town may be more difficult than in a densely populated area, but if you can sell items online in addition to opening a storefront or operating from home, your potential for profit is increased.
