If your business is into production and you make use of raw materials to make your products, one of the best ways to cut down on your cost of production is to get your raw materials directly from the locals.
They are the one's who process the raw materials and as such they sell it very cheap compared to what you can buy from the wholesellers.
Do this whenever you have a production batch to make and see your cost drop very low.

I would have to agree with this as I feel the cost of gas is the bigger influence on how much something is versus the product itself. If you can get your materials local, even going there yourself to buy them, you can seriously cut down on the cost of the gas it would take for the business.

Buying local means you'll not only be getting the products you need to produce your goods, you'll also be helping local businesses thrive. It's a win win situation for not only you and the other business, but your local community benefits too.
