					<description><![CDATA[Martin,
I appreciate the response, although I am not sure where the idea of us not being a smaller retailer comes from?  We have said from the beginning we would rather not have an online store, unfortunately it is a necessary evil in this era of retail.  The last thing we want to do is take sales away from other small shops across the US.  What we are trying to do is allow the kid who does not have a local shop feel like he can be a part of something besides the mall.  

Shopatron is an excellent resource but I fail to see how going directly to a manufacturers web site and allowing the few shops that are using Shopatron to buy a product protects the little guy?

In a perfect word we would have a system where customers can buy direct from manufacturers and instead of them shipping it they let the customer know who there local shop is so they can pick it up.  Granted it doesn&#039;t fix the problem but unfortunately online retail is not going anywhere.  

Thanks 
Herb]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;lack of brand support for smaller retailers&quot;

but then you still snake sales from the smaller retailers with your online shop.  Hard to get them to support and rep your brand when the instant someone goes online you get the sale instead of them

shopatron...vince sanders...never summer.... you could do the same and walk the talk
