CEDR is doing some very good work when it comes to offering local business people the opportunity to learn how to compete in the free marketplace. Their "Business 101" seminars are right on target and the next will deal with how the marketplace changes when a WalMart comes into the picture. Heres the info from the CEDR website:
The fourth seminar in the “Business 101” series sponsored by CEDR titled “Weathering Wal-Mart” in planned for November 10. The seminar will focus on strategies for surviving and thriving with the big box stores. The cost of the seminar is $25 and will be held at the Astoria Holiday Inn on November 10 from 6:30-9:30 pm.
Sign-up by calling 503-338-2438 or 503-338-2411.
A guy named Tom Peters says: To beat Wal-Mart as a small business offer, Value/Experience/Intimacy.

Thank you.
Funny. There may be a little more detail involved to explain how to get from where you are to where you need to be but essentially you're right.
