When an economy slows right down (espescially because of a BAD labour government) many small businesses in fact tighten their belts, become more creative and work out new ways to make more money. What also happens, is the companies above you, who you buy your running stock from, also do the same thing to keep business and keep the dollars rolling in.
I have been running my own business for 20 years in the Electronic Security Industry, and all of the stock we buy within our business has never been CHEAPER than it has been the last 6 months. Smart companies like BOSCH have worked out ways to lower their prices, and if anything provide a better product at a better price.
I guess it helps that my main supplier BOSCH is worth billions, so in one way a bad government like Ju-liars govt has helped our industry. I think I am one of the lucky ones, cause everywhere else I look, everyone else is doing it tough except folks in the mining Industry.
Putting prices up in a bad economy is a real BAD idea. Lowering prices to keep the cash flow going so u can survive is the smart way to go. Shame the government is screwing everyone over. We need a new election and a new PM real bad.
