Sally sells seashells down by the seashore? What kind of fool is Sally? Surely, she did not study economics and the concept of supply and demand. How hot of a commodity could seashells be by a seashore? What is stopping the potential customer from simply gathering their own seashells for the free? What separates Sally’s shells from other simpletons selling the same? Sally needs to up her game. With a business what matters most is location, location, location. Sally must have missed the memo or else she’d have set up shop in a different destination. Sally must be impatient. Money moves made in haste are often a waste.

Someone should school Sally on how to increase sales. Maybe that Peter Piper with his pickled peppers can show her a thing or two about profits and pay scales. Maybe Peter can throw a dog a bone and give ole Sally here a loan to upscale her business venture. Teach her how to cut expenditures and utilize some creativity with her merchandise. Find a niche’ to up her price. Where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked, you ask? Sold to the highest bidder and then he’s off to the next task. Picking more peppers while Sally struggles to sell her simple seashells right next to the seashore she stole them from.

 Sad, sad Sally.
