Should I fire my client?

Ankesh...

Interesting that you mention those particular Archives...

Hi Larry,

Sounds like this guy still runs his business from about the 1960's.

Maybe just a Luck guess... But your Chances of Changing his Marketing methods are almost impossible...

As I'm sure he's very set in his ways of Doing business...

Although, with a store being in business for that Many years in a Small Town...

Means that they have a very Solid business and Strong customer base that can work for you in some Other ways!

Instead of Firing your Client, why don't you "Twist" the business idea around a little and start your own Club concept and maybe Joint Venture and/or get Creative and Feed Off of his customer base...

With it being a Small Town, you're probably going to run into similar type problems But Again Solid businesses with Strong customer bases...
