Town Talk

A forum for Princeton residents to express opinions about local and national issues

Question of the Week:

“What do you think would help stimulate the local economy?”
(Asked at the Midsummer Marketing Madness Showcase on Palmer Square.)

 

“More active local business participation in events like this, as well as a greater emphasis on quality of products (including food), as well as cost effective products.”

Mike LaRiccia, Princeton


“Helping businesses with e commerce websites, shipping domestically as well as globally. We’re helping businesses to grow with direct mail pieces. It is a very effective way to engage customers into buying products.”

Kim Krzywicki, USPS, Corporate, Princeton


“We need to get the word out. We are a small city with all the same services that are offered in a big city. Getting the word out as to what we have to offer would definitely help to stimulate all the local businesses.”

Lori Rabon, General Manager, Nassau Inn

 

“Awareness of shopping locally and taking advantage of the efficiency of our time, not needing to drive distances, and taking advantage of the awesome selection here.”

Joan Bartel, Princeton


“The government has to realize it’s got to let businesses do business. There are too many restrictions and certifications on business. The lending institutions need to be reasonable and understanding particularly to small businesses. I represent a woman owned business in Mercer County.”

Don Addison, Mrs. G’s, Trenton


“More marketing to bring people in to Princeton to shop.”

Kefi Abramov, Heartland Payment Systems, Hopewell


“Discount services to get customers in to try us. People need to be pampered.”

Lisa Rajnik, Lawn Cure, Princeton
