Help Out Area Schools and Locally Owned Businesses!

Here is a way to draw new people into your store: donate a project to the school art class!  Even if you’re not a business owner, you could always recommend it to a locally owned shop that you frequent!

Make it simple,  like drawings, simple stitching projects, etc.  Include a notice to be sent home with the kids letting parents know that the projects will be on display at your store.

This will give parents a great excuse to visit your store!  You can even give the kids a little bag of candy for coming to the store.

This type of project benefits the school, helping them to get materials and creative ideas that aren’t always readily available due to limited budgets, as well as helping the business get people into their store.  It’s a win-win situation!
