2010 Snowstorms in Atlanta are Good for Small Business.

Snowstorms in Atlanta and the Southeast are Good for Small Businesses.

With the down pouring of flakes, cities like Atlanta in the Southeast seem to freeze-up. Consumers likely to go to the mall or run a few errands are deciding to stay safe and keep inside.

How does this effect the local business economy? Well, if you own a small, home-based franchise, it does not effect you at all. By eliminating the need for customers to travel to a location, home-based businesses have an advantage during stormy weather. They can continue normal business operations without sacrificing sales.

Additionally, with consumers stuck indoors during a snow storm, it gives them additional time to “surf-n-shop” the internet. Having a retail-based retail concept would capture this “captured” market.

Finally, if roads are unsafe for traveling, your home-based business can stay active. As the owner, you would not need to get out and travel. Unlike a route owner or delivery service.

For the home-based small business owner, during Snowstorms in Atlanta and the Southeast, the phrase that pays is, “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!”
