But these big names aren't doing much, at least around here, to market anything. They have some circulars in the papers and that's the extent of it. They rely on "mall peasant" traffic (my words for them)
Maybe they don't have to.. they're nationally branded and don't have to, I guess. They still should do more on a local level.
From what this lady friend of mine is telling me they pretty much expect you to have YOUR OWN client base and still work for a tiny commission.
To me, that is just insane.
