      Have FUN with it! Make it a community event... Yes- we know, small businesses have to be particularly creative in holiday marketing. Trying get your slice of the available dollars isn't always easy.  Partly, by clinging to the perception is that "everybody" goes to XYZ town to shop, some small businesses hamstring themselves. 
    Be Crazy! Be Creative! Involve everybody! Start spreading the word.  Shop Small CAN ​easily be used year round and customized to suit the season and your particular needs. 
  And remember- Shop Small applies to ALL businesses. The local café/bar, the hardware store, plumber, barber, accountant, gas station... well- you get the idea.

    If it involves small towns, rural, business or people, we write about it. Both the good and the bad.  Part of our passion is helping you be the best you can be.
