Help Your Community and Your Business

One way to help your business and yourself, is to think about ways to help others in the local community. Because of the current economic crisis, local food banks are overtaxed. Fewer donations and more people in need means that more adults and children are going hungry.

How about sponsoring a food drive for the local food bank? It could be a one day event or ongoing. Offer an incentive. Maybe 10% off a service or purchase for everyone who donates a non-perishable food item. Your incentive doesn't have to be big. It is the people helping people idea that counts here. A food drive also reflects well on your business and brings people into your store. It promotes good will and helps people right in your home town.
