There are a lot of my neighbors who don’t buy from me. I asked other business people and they told me that they are experiencing the same thing.

I always feel bad about it but there is nothing I can do. Well, I’m glad I’ve got customers.

What is your business? Are you having a small store or mini store? Well, if your neighbours don't buy in your store, probably you're not friendly to them or they're ashamed on you.

Everyone must not buy from you. Your neighbours must not always buy from you. It would only be a problem when you are not even making sales at all.

I do not mind if they do not buy my products. It is their choice to do so.

I know one might feel bad if they don't get bought from neighbours but there's nothing wrong with that

Your neighbors have the right to choose where to buy what they need. There's no need to feel bad if they do not buy from you, but it's good to find out the reason if you can talk to them.

Very well said, she must find out the reason by interviewing one neighbor why they do not buy at her store.

I feel bad when people I know and they are aware I run a particular business still choose to patronize others out there, but I just ignore them.

I have nothing against them even when they don't buy. I did not create a business just to sell to neighbors

Very good answer Correct, when we have a business it doesn't mean we build it for our neighbors.

Don't mind if your neighbors don't buy at your store. Your goods won't rot. Just be patient though it hurts.

That's an entitlement mindset. Your neighbours must not buy from you simply because they are your neighbours. Offer value and demonstrate that to them, they would buy from you.

That's would be the great chance to make a proper review for your business and contemplate for the reason why they don't patronize on your business.

I have too seen that in my country whereby most neighbours are very jealous and wouldn't patronize on your business for that reason.

Maybe they do not need your products which could be the reason they are not making purchases from you. Maybe in the future. Who knows, right?

I feel very less concerned, I don't really care if they bought from me or elsewhere, as long as my products are good and valuable.

If my neighbor don't buy from me I believe that there is something which he can't open up for me so I have to let go and welcome others he is not the one to buy all my goods it's a form of descrimination

I understand how bad you must be feeling with it. I don't have a business but I can understand your pain but you cannot do anything with it. It's their right to buy anything from anywhere.

That's true. Every person has a liberty on who to patronize. Just let them know the products that you have and they might come to patronize some time. Don't stop telling them about your latest arrivals.
