Just a Little Re-Share to Remind Us All…

November 21, 2011 by Lisa Jeffries

Occupy a Small Independent Business

Alison, Tiki, and the gang over at Cute Buttons Gift and Paper Boutique shared this on their Facebook page a while back and of course, I had to re-share it on the I <3 Retail Facebook page, too. It garnered some good shares, likes, and even replies on our Twitter… so I couldn’t leave the blog out! With Black Friday and Small Business Saturday quickly approaching, this is just a friendly reminder to remember our local independents this weekend.

As always, we’ll be sending out our annual Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday shopping guide via email and keeping everyone posted on last minute offers here on the blog and on Facebook and Twitter, so now is a great time to make sure you’re connected with us in all three locations, if you’re not already. (Which we thank you kindly for doing!)
