Did you pledge on the Scentsy Contribute website to help small businesses in your area on October 12th? If you did and you visited a small business in your local area on or around the 12th, I’d love to hear your story! Didn’t get a chance or haven’t heard about it yet? It’s never too late to help local businesses! Scentsy Contribute has added two shopping days- Monday October 26th and Monday November 9th. Plus, if you go onto the site and order a Scentsy Contribute t-shirt to wear when you go shopping, you will receive a $10 gift certificate to cover the nominal $9 (including shipping) for the shirt. It’s a win win!
Why participate in Scentsy Contribute? Small businesses are vital to our economy and they are often the hardest hit. During this recession, many small businesses have gone under, but we can help slow down that trend if we simply decide to go to a local shop for items we already intend to purchase versus a large chain store. Do you need an oil change? Instead of going to a large chain quick lube, visit a smaller shop- often you get better service for the same price. How about prescriptions? Did you know that some smaller pharmacies have better prices on some of their medications? Looking to buy flowers? Go to your local florist instead of a bigger chain. Shop for those new running shoes at a local running store. See how easy it is? And it makes a big difference to the small business owners who often started their business because of a passion for the product or service they offer. So get out there, spread the word, and go shopping!
