Shop Small November 29th

Shop Small November 29th

The time is coming for that shopping blitz known as Black Friday.

Yeah, the mobs arriving at stores at midnight has been lessened the past few years, but still  fanatical shopping time in the states.

Today we are reminding you that the small shops in your town are valuable to you and your community.

Of course we shop on Amazon. How can you get away from that beast? And we live in an area where the shopping options are slight compared to the city centers around this great nation.

I rarely see a donation at a TU Banquet from the local Cabela’s or facsimile thereof. And the conversation at some fly clubs I have been to constantly circle around how to save a few pennies by buying foam, feathers, beads at their local fabric/craft store.

You know what I don’t see at said clubs is a raffle item from that fabric or craft store. Funny huh? We here at Headhunters get solicitations from dozens of fly clubs a year. And we donate to those clubs. I wonder what the success rate is when those clubs ask at their local Michael’s or Hobby Lobby chain store?

I think we both know the answer to that question…

Fly Fishing businesses donate and support the fly fishing industry.

It is your duty, turn, responsibility to give back to those who give to you.

Not yelling at you folks this morning, just a gentle reminder that this is how the world works.

Keep small businesses in business and you too will reap the rewards.

We have all heard the equation of dollars spent in your local community that stay in your local community. Your kids sports clubs/teams rely on support form your local businesses like dentists, retail stores, restaurants, and fly shops.

Shop local this season. Keep your dollars local. And reap the rewards of your local community. You chose to live there. Support it like it has supported you.
