Local Shops Need Your Help
HELPING OUR LOCAL ECONOMY: For more than a month, we have been talking about ways to help our local economy. Now, we have expanded our SHOP LOCAL COUPON EVENT by increasing the discount to 40% and adding another eight days! Still – NOBODY HAS YET PARTICIPATED! WE NEED YOUR HELP AND LOCAL BUSINESSES NEED YOUR HELP. The reward for you is great – not only are you helping the local economy but we will help you with your economy by giving you 40% off three items – just for shopping with three local merchants.
ANOTHER LOCAL MERCHANT IS CLOSING THEIR DOORS. Anna Leigh’s is located in The Plaza Shoppes (across from the resort on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d’Alene). They offer fine styles and great prices on women and children’s clothing. But they are closing their doors the end of October. This will be a great loss to our community. But let’s not ignore them these last few days – THEY ARE OFFERING 40% OFF EVERYTHING. Let’s help them out – it may be too late to help them stay in business but let’s help them close out with dignity.
In the past few weeks, we have offered several suggestions for shopping locally and we have asked you to share your suggestions. This week, we had a few more responses (we are still looking for yours):
