Go Here, Not There - An Introduction

Our country was founded on innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs. So, Patch wants to pay homage to our local business owners. In the coming weeks, we'll be unveiling a new series called "Go Here, Not There." Same concept as "Eat This, Not That" except with a business twist. Do you need a new couch for the living room? We'll compare the furniture that the big boys sell to some of what your lesser-known local shops have to offer.

Patch would also like to introduce the muscles behind the project - SFCorkboard! The local business hub and Patch have developed a partnership to really kick this thing off. Now, twice a month (every first and third Tuesday), we will post a new segment of Go Here, Not There.

We'll explain why that chainsaw from the local hardware store is a better buy than one at Home Depot. And when we say a "better buy," we don't just mean price. Yes, some local mom-and-pop-shops may be a bit pricier, but we want to give our local entrepreneurs a chance to explain how their products match up to the "big box" competition. That could mean a better warranty, better quality, better pricing, special deals, special maintance, etc.

So check in to Patch on Aug. 16 for the first edition of Go Here, Not There, and head on over and "Like" SFCorkboard on Facebook! Your business could be featured next.
