Be an individual, shop Independents
Here we are again on the 29th of the month. The date each month we celebrate all Independent businesses. As #IndependentsDay falls a little too late for retailers to send out in time for all things Queens Diamond Jubilee, I thought it might be a good idea to support all those hard working businesses who sell items suitable for celebrating Fathers Day on the Sunday June 17th .
HERE'S HOW IT
WORKS
Any type of
independent business or even if you have a favourite one you love to support
you can join in.
If you have a blog,
please write a short post mentioning and linking to three or so independent
businesses you follow, buy from or just plain admire. You can of course link to
your own business if you want to. Its all about building up the traffic to help
people find our businesses.
Leave a comment
below with a link to your blog so we can all pop over and take a look. It would
be really great if you would link back to this post.
and/or
Tweet about the
independent businesses you are supporting and mentioning the hashtag
#IndependentsDay
and/or
Link or share this
or your own post on your Facebook page and encourage others to share
and/or
Link up your
business below
You don't have to
be an independent business to get involved or have a blog. Comments, tweets and
Facebook mentions will all help enormously.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for linking up, will pop over and take a peak xx
DeleteFabulous idea! I would love to get involved if I can. I like your suggestion for writing a blog post about other independents, so I'm going to plan that very soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shona, that would be wonderful. I think its really important that we show support for each other. It can be a really lonely and insecure time when you run your own business xx
DeleteI'm new to blogging, but I'm loving it. I think this is a great idea and great products

Here is my weblog - snowbird furnished rentals in florida
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids.
ReplyDeleteI found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic
but I had to tell someone!

It's amusing due to the fact I use to have a web site that almost had an identical web address: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5502126299987574566&postID=1715749975643855493 mine was only a few letters different.
