Moving ahead with its plans to encourage Delmarva residents to support their locally owned and operated businesses, Shop Local Delmarva has designated the second Saturday of every month an unofficial Shop Local Delmarva Day. The first Shop Local Delmarva Day is March 10th.
Since Shop Local Delmarva is still growing with only a handful of businesses listed in its directory, the theme for the first Shop Local Delmarva Day is simple – tell everyone you know about the importance of shopping locally – and visit at least one locally owned and operated business! If you want to do more, some ideas are listed below.
If you own a locally owned and operated business:
- If you are not already listed on Shop Local Delmarva, get listed! A basic listing is and always will be free.
- If you are already listed and want to run a special for the Shop Local Delmarva Day, please email Shop Local Delmarva with details. Businesses with a free, basic listing can participate in this one-day special, too, at no charge!
- If your business has a website or a FaceBook page, mention Shop Local Delmarva and the unofficial Shop Local Delmarva Day.
If you are a consumer:
- Visit at least one locally owned and operated business. You might find surprises you would never find in a big chain store.
- Tell your favorite locally owned and operated business about Shop Local Delmarva. Be sure to tell them their basic listing is and always will be free.
- If you run your own website or are active in any of the social media sites, mention Shop Local Delmarva and the unofficial Shop Local Delmarva Day.
As each month passes, hopefully the Shop Local Delmarva Day will generate more enthusiasm and participation. The only way that will happen is by you telling everyone about it and you shopping at your locally owned and operated business.
