Sorry, meant that humorously on account of Sweden's high tax rates.
To bring this somewhat back to the thread:
This shop is closing because of a changing marketplace. Whether it's from competition from outfits like the Gold Bros and/or from the comparatively strong pound, the shop's kilt orders declined rapidly. But does anyone know what some of the smaller shops with quality items are doing to survive? I'm just wondering, because I'm sure bigger outfits won't have to worry as much; they can weather a sales slump a lot better than a small shop.
I just was wondering if anyone's heard of any new strategies that smaller shops are taking to stay in business. Founding pipe-bands to get new clients, perhaps?
