If you received a Green "Merit" coupon, you have been recognized by at least one individual for your business's outstanding achievement in some area. You may request for us to post it on the Small Businessman Web Site to receive recognition for your accomplishment. I avoid promotional floods of merits and do not guarantee posting of all "Merits." However, it is the goal of the Small Businessman to assist local businesses (Currently in the Roseville, Rocklin CA area) in improving their businesses service, efficiency, appearance and profitability.
If you receive a yellow "Demerit" at your place of business delivered in person or in the mail, it is simply a note from someone hoping that you will make a change in your business. The world is not at an end and the slips only represent an opinion. They were given to your business because someone cared enough to take the time to fill one out for you. There are probably a lot of good ideas contained in them and also some pretty wild ones. However, if all of the good ideas are adopted, it should improve your business and thereby improve the quality of your community as a whole. And of course, it did bring you to our website, didn't it? I hope as our site and www.getem.net develops you find something useful in them.
