Ft. Lauderdale, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2016 -- Manufacturers who connect with the end consumer will significantly impact small business. According the manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, "Most manufacturers miss the opportunity because typically there is little directly interaction with end-user consumers." When manufacturers speak with customers, Cutler reports it is a great chance for a business to learn and adapt.

Manufacturers are able to become the eyes and ears of a small business through customer interactions. Cutler will be addressing the need for manufacturers to engage and grasp consumer trends throughout 2016. Cutler insists this communication dynamic involves developing platforms for manufacturers to communicate new information with the consumer, not just the supply chain.
