July is National Independent Retailers Month, a great time to work with your chamber of commerce, downtown association, banks, and/or individual business owners to create a shop local promotion in your community, that could extend throughout the summer. Offer rewards and discounts for buying local and remind your listeners of all the ways that keeping dollars at home benefits them.
GBS also offers Salute to Our Small Businesses, a set of features that pay tribute to our hard-working businesspeople and the important role they play in our communities and the nation’s economy. It’s a good feature for a larger entity such as a law firm, chamber of commerce, bank, office supplies store, etc., to sponsor. (One of our clients in Virginia sold sponsorship to his local Congressman - great idea!). Demo & details here: https://gracebroadcast.com/sales-boosters/year-round/salute-small-businesses/
