We hope that your Thanksgiving was full of joy, love and laughter! Although this Thanksgiving was probably different than in the past, being with our loved ones will always be in the forefront of who we are, no matter what is happening in the world!
Now we move into the Holiday Season. Let the shopping begin! Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and communities across the country. Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The goal of Small Business Saturday is to remind consumers that they play a key role in helping the small businesses in their community thrive, and encourage them to get out and shop and dine at local businesses.
You might not realize it, but every time you pick up a cup of coffee from your favorite neighborhood cafe or buy a gift from a local artist's online store, you're shopping small and making a difference. This is a big deal right now for the state of the economy.
Dollars spent with corporate chains quickly fly out of our local economy and don’t come back. Buying locally by consumers, businesses, and local government grows our local economy because of the powerful local multiplier effect. When you spend $100 with a local, independent business, most of that money stays here, paying for local services, supplies, staff, and sometimes inventory. Those businesses then spend most of that money with other local businesses, and so on. Your $100 has just multiplied, each transaction creating on average three times more income, jobs, and wealth for your community. It not only makes intuitive sense, but study after study verifies this powerful contrast.
So we ask that you support our cute little shop, Meadow Boutique on Saturday, November 28. Bring your friends and introduce them to us and do some fun little shopping. We would not be in business without you through these trying times. We ARE in business because of you. Think about that for a moment. Every time you come in and buy from us we have the opportunity of getting to know you, what colors you like, your style, and most of all your smile! Your support for local businesses, makes this lovely community what it is today. We are so grateful to be part of the Queen Anne community.
Your safety is very important to us at Meadow Boutique!
If you have been shopping with us, you know that keeping you safe with all the restrictions of COVID is in the forefront of our business. Keeping our prices reasonable is always what keeps you coming in to see what’s new. You know that we will always make sure our customers needs come first. We are so grateful that some of our customers have become our friends. This is a beautiful thing after 11 years in the Queen Anne community. Nothing makes our heart sing more than chatting it up with you about your families and your children and just plain life.
So, on Small Business Saturday we look forward to seeing you. We have so many items that you have seen in the past blog posts still available with a few new surprises that came in this week. Come in and see for yourself! We know you have plenty of holiday shopping to do for all those special people on your list. Meadow Boutique can help you with that.
