| Annual Holiday Shopping Guide The weather is changing and temperatures are dropping and that means it’s time for our annual, virtual, holiday shopping guide. For the seventh year in a row, we want to focus on showing consumers that it’s easier than they think to do their holiday shopping at locally owned businesses. We’re putting together our guide with listings, gift ideas, and tips on buying locally. We will have a page on our website dedicated to holiday shopping and will update the page with specials, sales, and other info throughout the holiday season. What items do you sell that are exclusive to your store that would make a great gift? What items do you sell that people might not know about? What are some hot items in the market that consumers would buy online or big box, but you actually sell them in your store? Please provide pictures of any items or gift ideas that you would like shared in JPEG format. We will begin to compile the database and start posting as the holiday nears. Feel free to send in items all the way up until the week before Dec. 25th so we can update the online photo album weekly: sarah@shoplocalraleigh.org |
