Here are just a couple of ideas we thought we'd share with you this month....
Make the decision to go out and support local and family-owned businesses instead of the big box chains.
Order now to avoid disappointment, as independent businesses tend to sell out and book up early.
Your spending = your choices. Support the mom and mom businesses where you live.
Actions speak louder. Show that you are committed to independent businesses this holiday season.
While some independents may not be open 24 hours or perhaps you need to place your order in advance, the value of spending with area retailers is worth picking up the phone. Mom and Pop businesses often need a bit more notice to prepare large orders and it's good to order early.
You have a voice - and a choice! Plan ahead to ensure local options.
Boycott Black Thursday and "Buy Nothing" on Black Friday.
Show the love to your local retailers on Small Business Saturday!
