“We are looking for other creative ways to attract and give incentives to merchants. We are offering a unique opportunity to merchants to generate revenue through positive response to ads by fully utilizing POS equipment already on their counter top.”
Carl Towner
“[Even offline, the large merchants are offering very real advantages to consumers, and are] far superior to most local retailers, ... There are always exceptions, but by and large that's the case. In a large bookstore, you can get coffee, sit in a comfortable chair, lounge for hours -- it's really an experience.”
Charlene Li
“Given the strong consumer sentiment, merchants have been offering much smaller discount or even no discount compared with last year.”
Daniel Chan
“I also want to urge shoppers to patronize their local merchants. Small businesses employ area residents, offer a personal touch to the shopper, and are a stabilizing force in a community.”
Brian McLaughlin
“Junk is the ultimate merchandise. The junk merchant does not sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to the product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise, he degrades and simplifies the client.”
William S. Burroughs
“A merchants happiness hangs upon chance, winds, and waves”
Proverb
“Your breath comes to its end, O my merchant friend, and your shoulders are weighed down by the tyrant of old age. Not one iota of virtue came into you, O my merchant friend; bound and gagged by evil, you are driven along.”
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
