Has anybody ever told you how much they truly appreciate your business?
For us, it’s not really about the money, Though it’s a necessary and much appreciated appurtenance. It’s seeing the smile on your face as you walk away from the booth knowing that the one of a kind item you’re taking with you is going to make someone very happy. It’s knowing that someday, somewhere someone is going to pick it up and ask where it came from. It’s knowing that I was a pleasant part of someone’s life if only for a brief moment. It’s getting to be a part of the story even if you can’t remember my name! I can’t begin to tell you how good it feels to move a piece of artwork off the table! Jeff Bezos doesn’t feel that way.. Dr Dre doesn’t care whose headphones you use.. The CEO’s at your big box stores won’t care to know your name when their systems get hacked and they have to send you that settlement..
Truth be told, there’s no better return on your investment than to support small businesses and support makers... Think of it this way! Your purchase, this Christmas, may make the difference between a new pair of shoes and a new bicycle for some kid out there! At the very least, it’ll bring a tear of joy and a deep feeling of gratitude to somebody else... That’s 2 gifts for the price of one!
That’s not just a deal! That’s a really of a deal!
So, I’m going to do my best to support local makers and small businesses this Christmas, and I hope that you choose to do the same!
I’m just one of many... leave links below in the comments to help people find others! I’m thankful for Jeff Bezos and his legacy, but I’m not gonna give him any more money than I absolutely have to...
