That's very altruistic of you and i'm sure people will appreciate it however without wanting to come across as negative, there are underlying messages here.

If someone can't pay their inworld tier for their store then it says that either their store is too big for the income  -> downsize!

Or that the products on offer aren't what the market wants -> change products!

It's too easy to have grand ideas and start off by renting a big plot of land for hundreds/thousands of prims and creating a fancy store to look at and then finding nothing happens.  Simply propping up failing stores isn't the way forward in my view.

Grow or shrink as sales dictate and i'm not convinced about "many designers leaving SL".  It's the same thing, if the products aren't selling then to be blunt there's no loss.  People don't tend to leave something if it's profitable do they? (unless there are other personal reasons).

Anyway, I apologise for probably appearing negative but that's just my perspective.  Learning how to operate profitably is a lesson in itself.
