Business this year: Business this year has been just a bit off from last year.
Evolution in the industry you’re excited about? My sales are online through my website, though it is on a personal basis, not a shopping-cart basis. I closed my brick-and-mortar store just over two years ago, but still travel and do individual sales with my past customers in addition to those online. I
am always in favor of sustainable products and believe the continued growth in teaching products on the Web helps to grow the customer base. There is a fair amount of customer uncertainty about buying high-end fretted instruments. The amount of discounting on major-name products has gone a bit too far and has taken profit margin away, which hurts smaller businesses more than the large volume stores.
Product of the Year? Webber Guitars have been my hottest product and my product of the year has been the LR Baggs Lyric internal mic/pickup.
