In the last couple of weeks, I have fallen a bit behind in my normal upkeep of the Shop Local Delmarva website. A combination of training for a new job, which requires a lot of time in Baltimore, and helping a local busines...s (who had served Cambridge for over fifty years) re-establish itself after being forced to close during the height of the recession has slowed me down a bit. As an update, here is what will be coming up by the end of the month:
A formal welcome to Candra's Secret will be coming. Candra's Secret is listed in the Shop Local Delmarva directory as "in Sussex" and serving all of Delmarva. Candra's Secret will also soon be featured in the Shop Local Delmarva Virtual Mall. Please visit their website at http://www.shoplocaldelmarva.com/content/listing/sussex/candras-secret
A formal welcome to Jem-Mor Florist will be coming. Jem-Mor Florist is listed in the Shop Local Delmarva directory as "in Kent (DE)" and will be soon linked to serving all of Delmarva. Jem-Mor Florist will also soon be featured in the Shop Local Delmarva Virtual Mall. Please visit their website at http://www.shoplocaldelmarva.com/content/listing/kent-de/jen-mor-florist-inc
Perennial Roots Farms will soon be listed as "in Accomack" and serving Northampton. Please visit their website at http://www.perennialroots.com/
Raffie's Warehouse will soon be listed as "in Dorchester" and serving all of Delmarva. Up until about two years ago, Raffie's Warehouse had two locations, one in Cambridge and one in Easton, before being forced to close during the economic downturn. I am helping Raffie's Warehouse establish a virtual store through eBay to help the owner sell his inventory that is currently sitting in storage. He also wants to move his jewelry business, which he currently has offered in a couple of leased spaces in other stores, move completely to the virtual store. At 92-years-old, the owner has decided to forgo the traditional brick-and-mortar store and has embraced the new technology of a virtual store! Hopefully, I can help him make the transformation a success. Once I get Raffie's Warehouse established in the virtual world, they will be listed as "in Dorchester" and serving all of Delmarva. They also will be featured in the Shop Local Delmarva Mall.
Our next Shop Local Delmarva Day is April 13th! If you want to run any specials, sales, or coupons for the day, please email or message me with your request by March 31st. All businesses, even those with a free basic listing, can run one simple text ad that will be promoted here and on the Shop Local Delmarva website. I can include your business logo with the text ad.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to post them here or message or email me. I apologize to the businesses who are so patiently waiting for me to catch up. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to hire help, but I am trying my best to keep up with the recent influx of requests. I appreciate your patience.
