Shop Local Tip #11: Ask For HelpWhen you shop at a local Allston indie store don’t hesitate to ask for help. It saves you time, you get to know more about a product or service before you buy it and you connect with the local people working there. Make a point to be a visible and engaged patron. While a good sales person will usually initiate any dialog with you, don’t hesitate to do it first. Chatting with the people working there will make for a far more enjoyable experience and chances are you’re engaging with somebody who also lives local. You’ll be building relationships while you get the assistance you need. |
