Small Business Saturday might be over, but supporting local businesses should be our goal all year long! The weeks ahead will be busy with shoppers out looking for the perfect gifts for family and friends as Christmas looms closer. While large corporations and big business might offer cheap prices and huge inventory, they miss out on something special.
Knowing you!
Anyone can get a gift on Amazon or run by the local corner store at the last minute for a gift card, but are those gifts really remembered, and does your purchase make an impact? Probably not. Shopping local means you pour resources back into our community, supporting businesses owned by your very own friends and neighbors. What’s more, you get unique gifts for everyone on your list that are sure to be loved and appreciated by the recipients.
