Mom and Pop Shops Struggle


By Lisa Autz

Think back to that one store in your community that was the epitome of a mom and pop business. It may have been the small, family-run restaurant around the corner that always remembered your favorite dish, or the local market that lends a helping hand when you would load your groceries into the car.

Whatever it was, there seemed to be a genuine, community spirit about them that emphasized relationship building instead of vapid slogans targeted at generating sales.

Thirty years ago these businesses were the backbone of most small cities across the country, but are now increasingly becoming a nostalgic memory. In the face of a staggering economy, advancing technology, and competing online sites, over 59 percent of owners say it's more difficult running a small business now than it was just a few years ago.

Utilizing the shopping frenzy of the holidays, Small Business Saturday is an attempt to combat that fact. The day, created by American Express five years ago, is slabbed between Black Friday and Cyber Monday with the hope of bringing the little guys back into the awareness of big-name shoppers.

Harry Hecht, a business consultant for SCORE, the nonprofit dedicated to developing local enterprises, sat down with BTR to discuss why local commerce is integral to a community. Although community shops may be an afterthought for buyers during the holidays, they have a strong importance in the growth of the economy.

"Larger retailers are always looking at cutting employees," reasons Hecht. "There is a greater capacity for long-term sustainable employment in small businesses when they don't have to deal with stock market implications and have a growth that is much more predictable."

Though consumers benefit from the low prices and bargains that giant corporations can offer, too many of these chain retailers clog up the arteries of our economy's blood flow by putting money into the hands of big retail instead of letting it circulate back into the local community.

Corporations have been eliminating approximately four million jobs since 1990, and America counts on the smaller enterprises to fill in those gaps.

Today, small businesses still account for 54 percent of all sales in the US and have provided 55 percent of all jobs since the 1970s. But growing taxation and regulations are making it increasingly difficult for people looking to bring their entrepreneurial visions to fruition.

"We need a better way to have a business start from scratch," proposes Hecht. "We still have 60 to 70 percent of businesses failing in the first five years because many are disconnected with their idea and what it takes to see it succeed."

Anna Thorner, the president and co-owner of an office furniture store in Sterling, Virginia called Sumner Furniture, attested to the difficulty of starting her small business in a phone interview with BTR.

"I've always heard people complain about the taxes and I used to roll my eyes, and now I see," admits Thorner. "It's mind-blowing--I don't fully understand why they tax people so heavily who are trying to do what they keep telling us to do to for the economy."

The furniture shop, that sells new and used office furnishings, started two years ago by her husband Jeff Thorner and has since become a part of the national advocacy group called Small Business Majority. Aside from utilizing networking functions, the company rarely employs a holiday marketing tactic and was not even aware of Small Business Saturday.

Instead Sumner Furniture's focus is on the supremacy of her customer's experience.

"Honestly, our tactic is to bend over backwards and do anything for our clients," remarks Thorner. "The word 'no' rarely comes out of our mouths, it's exhausting but we will do anything for our customers."

Though the old-fashioned ideals can go far, there's no denying the expansive audience that can be reached with the use of social media. In fact, the Small Business Majority initiated a contest days before the small biz holiday for owners to have the chance to get a total revamp on all social media platforms.

Chris Armstrong, a national partnership and government affairs manager for Small Business Majority, spoke with BTR about their outreach to help these storefronts generate more traffic with their contest campaign entitled, "Confessions of a Small Biz Shopaholic."

The hashtag #SmallBizShopaholic encouraged anyone shopping that day to join in the conversation on supporting their favorite local spot. The grand prize winner of the campaign will be announced in the first week of 2015.

"These businesses are constantly pouring more time and more passion into what they do and having more difficulty finding loans and getting access to capital to hire more people for the holidays," describes Armstrong. "As a consumer it's an important role to help heighten the awareness even if it's tweeting out that you bought something at your local store."

Collective work from both customers and business owners alike has the ability to make zealous, neighborhood businesses still thrive in our economy. Days like Small Business Saturday are just one avenue to combine traditional, service-oriented ideals with modern technology to keep innovation and compassion in business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of net income and earnings per diluted share that are GAAP net income and GAAP earnings per diluted share adjusted to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring costs, expenses and gains. A reconciliation of the adjustments to GAAP results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is provided below. In addition, an explanation of how management uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its business, the substance behind management’s decision to use this non-GAAP financial information, the material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial information, the manner in which management compensates for those limitations, and the substantive reasons management believes that this non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to investors is included under “About our Non-GAAP Net Income and Adjustments” after the tables below.
These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with or an alternative to GAAP and may be materially different from other non-GAAP measures, including similarly titled non-GAAP measures, used by other companies. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, net income or earnings per diluted share prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect certain items that may have a material impact upon our reported financial results. We expect to continue to incur expenses of a nature similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from our non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.

On September 10th through 12th Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division held its annual Print and Imaging National summit for Samsung dealers at the Hyatt Regency in Dallas, Texas. The conference was designed to educate attendees on Samsung’s strategy and vision for the future, introduce new lineups of products and technologies, and enlighten dealers on new marketing implementation/execution plans for pushing these new products. Approximately 300 people attended the event, including dealers, ISV partners, and analysts.
Attendees heard from several Samsung high executives during the opening welcome general session including President of Samsung Electronics America, Tim Baxter, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing, Tod Pike, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Printing Solutions, Matthew Smith (who joined the Samsung team in May 2014), and Senior Program Manager, Kasey Kim. Tim Baxter emphasized that Samsung is “relentlessly focused on bringing innovation to market.” Samsung has laid out audacious goals for its EBD printer business, and announced they are focusing on B2B growth, and B2B vertical orientation. They launched a new “Smartify” marketing campaign to achieve these goals.
The most exciting news of the event was the announcement of a future product- the MX7, a new family of A3 MFPs with speeds of up to 60 ppm, scan speeds at over 100 ipm, and larger duty cycles due to new drums that offer twice the rated print volume. The UI is most impressive, basically serving as a tablet hooked into the hardware. This device will be available sometime in 2015. With this announcement along with the recent release of several new MFPs to their portfolio, Samsung is certainly gaining more footage in the A3 area.
New Future Product- MultiXpress X7 Series with finisher
Along with the announcement of new hardware, Samsung revealed their vertical market strategies focusing on six major categories: transportation, education, retail, hospitality, finance, and healthcare, and partner solutions they are utilizing to target each. These details, along with more information regarding Samsung’s new Smartify campaign, dealer support, and company strategy/goals can be found in InfoTrends’ recently published analysis Samsung’s Printing Solutions National Dealer Summit 2014: Think Big.

Hewlett-Packard plans to split into two companies

Hewlett-Packard plans to split into two companies: Report

Hewlett-Packard plans to break in two, separating its computer and printer businesses from its corporate hardware and services operations, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.

The company plans to announce the move as early as Monday, the Journal said in a report on its web site that cited people familiar with the matter. The division would be made through a tax-free distribution of shares to stockholders next year, according to the report.
A company spokeswoman declined to comment on the report.


HP and some of its investors have long considered such a move, the newspaper noted. As one of the older big computer companies, for several years HP directors have discussed ways to restructure to keep up with technology upstarts.
 
Company split-ups in which shares of new divisions were spun off to stockholders in the past have resulted in higher stock market returns for investors.
Many investors and analysts have called for a break-up of the company, or a sale of the personal computer business, so that HP could focus on the more profitable operations of providing computer servers, networking and data storage to businesses.


Company executives have said in the past that personal computers underpin and support the company as a whole.
 
The PC business has shown signs of life in recent quarters, growing broadly geographically as businesses replace aging machines.

Print-Rite Settles with Canon

Arnald Ho, Chairman and CEO of Print-Rite, has told Recycling Times that his group of companies has settled with Canon on the recent coupling gears lawsuits in New York’s Southern District Court and the United States International Trade Commission (USITC).
According to the company’s official statement, “The Print-Rite group, including Print-Rite N.A. Inc., Union Technology International (Macao Commercial Offshore) Company Limited, Print-Rite Unicorn Image Products Company Limited, Innotex Precision Limited, and Print-Rite Holdings Limited (collectively, “Print-Rite”), has reached settlement agreement with Canon. It resolves both the ITC investigation and the district court case accusing Print-Rite of patents infringement.”
Print-Rite said it’s finalizing its plans for introduction of redesigned cartridges that avoid Canon’s patents, and it will inform customers as soon as the new cartridges are available for sale.
Print-Rite has been awarded numerous patents for its innovations and has over 2,200 patents and pending applications worldwide and remains committed to continued investments to benefit and protect its customers.
Recycling Times reported on January 29, 2014, Canon USA filed lawsuits in New York’s Southern District Court against 18 toner cartridge remanufacturers and other aftermarket suppliers. As was revealed by Canon, five Print-Rite related companies became defendants in this case, including Print-Rite Holdings Ltd, Print-Rite N.A., Inc., Print-Rite Unicorn Image Products Co., Ltd, Union Technology Int’l (M.C.O.) Co., Ltd and Innotex Precision Ltd. The OEM asserted the companies infringed patents related to its OPC drum gears of toner cartridges used in more than 50 models of Canon and Hewlett-Packard laser beam printers. Thus, Canon sought damages and injunctive relief. According to Canon, those companies have infringed its U.S. Patent Nos. 8,135,304; 8,280,278; 8,369,744; 8,433,219; 8,437,669; 8,494,411; 8,532,533; 8,565,640; and 8,630,564.

At the beginning of May, Canon filed a complaint with the USITC against 33 manufacturers, distributors and sellers of toner cartridges for infringement of nine patents. Print-Rite’s five related companies were listed again. Canon claimed the companies had infringed nine of its patents (Nos. 8,135,304; 8,280,278; 8,369,744; 8,565,640; 8,630,564; 8,676,085; 8,676,090; 8,682,215; and 8,688,008); the patents related to a “dongle type rotating arm on the OPC drum used in more than 50 models of Canon and Hewlett-Packard laser beam printers”. Canon requested the Commission to issue a general exclusion order, or, at the very least, a limited exclusion order, forbidding entry into the United States of all toner cartridges and components that infringe the asserted patents.
