If you’re like most business owners on the Cape, you’ve probably thought about how to extend the season and attract more customers. One way to do that is to think outside the box and consider ways to tap into new markets. That’s what we did here at Liberty Siqueira, and we plan to continue to do this as our businesses grows. By being creative and flexible, we’ve created opportunities that set us apart from the competition. It all comes down to managing something called the “accordion effect.”
The cost of doing business on the Cape is high due to the limited amount of land and the seasonal population
Cape Cod is beautiful, but it’s not always the most accessible place to do business. The land cost is high because there’s a limited amount of it, and demand is high. The population is also seasonal, which can make staffing a challenge. But despite these challenges, Cape Cod is a great place to do business. The Cape is home to passionate entrepreneurs who constantly find new ways to solve problems. When you’re faced with challenges like these, it makes you that much more creative and innovative.
There is also a lack of skilled labor available on the Cape, which can make it challenging to find qualified employees
The Cape has a lot of skilled labor, but it’s also Cape Cod. It can be challenging to find qualified employees. I know from experience. I’ve been trying to find a manager Liberty Siqueira for years, and it’s been tough. I’ve had to go through many candidates to find the right one.
Traffic congestion and a shortage of parking spaces are also significant problems on the Cape
Traffic congestion and a shortage of parking spaces are two significant problems that Cape residents must deal with in the Summer. While some steps can be taken to alleviate these problems, such as carpooling and using public transportation, they are often insufficient to solve the issue. Cape Cod is a popular tourist destination, and the influx of visitors during the summer months only exacerbates the problem. If Cape residents want to improve their quality of life, they need to find ways to reduce traffic and increase parking availability.
By understanding the unique problems faced by businesses on Cape Cod, you can be better prepared to overcome them and succeed
Cape Cod is a peninsula, so there’s only one way in and out, making it difficult to get supplies and materials. Because it’s a popular tourist destination, businesses must be prepared for significant fluctuations in customer volume throughout the year. This is what we mean by the ‘accordion effect’. We manage with careful planning and an understanding of the unique challenges.
If you’re one of the brave entrepreneurs who have decided to start a business on Cape Cod, we salute you. We know it’s not easy – the cost of doing business here is high due to the limited amount of land and the seasonal population. There is also a lack of skilled labor available on the Cape, making it challenging to find qualified employees. Traffic congestion and a shortage of parking spaces are also significant problems on the Cape. But despite these challenges, there are still many businesses that have been successful on Cape Cod. By understanding the unique issues businesses face on Cape Cod, you can be better prepared to overcome them and succeed.
