Every business, no matter which industry, is in business to make money. However having run my own small business for many years and competing with others, it is my opinion, that there are basically two types of businesses predatory and non-predatory. Does not matter if you are talking about plumbers, dentists, or RV dealerships.
Trouble is the consumer often does not know the difference. I would have no knowledge about either CW or this small dealer, as I have never shopped at either one.
But I know, in my little world, I do hear stories about what those predators in my area of business do. I just want to shake my head.
Trouble is how do you get your message across, how do you say hey we are not like these other guys. Sure we need to make money, but we are not going to take advantage of you.
No way the small guy can match the advertising dollars of these big predatory outfits. If that is the case here, I see this as an attempt to point out the difference. Will it help? Don't know. In my humble opinion, the video is a bit overly dramatic and too negative. It runs the risk of just looking like sour grapes on the part of the small dealer. But I do think the general idea is good
