Today is Small Business Saturday and we couldn’t be more excited about it! As fellow business owners and Plainfield area residents, know first hand how challenging it can be to sustain things in this day and age, so, we’d like to take a moment to send some love and appreciation out there to our fellow small business owners! It takes a lot of strength, courage, and tenacity to run your own business and even more so to keep it going year after year! Thank you for your support for the last two decades and change, as it means the world to us.
We’re so proud to be a business in Plainfield, and in this great state of New Jersey for that matter! Of course, we’re also grateful to all of our clients who come back and choose to hire us year after year, and we’d like to encourage you to extend that support to some of our fellow local NJ businesses! Thank you to all of our neighboring entrepreneurs for all your hard work in making our beloved community such a vibrant, unique place to live and work.
To celebrate our love of local and pay it forward, we’re sharing a list of some great local businesses in the surrounding area to support. We encourage everyone to shop small and shop local as much as you can afford to do so this holiday season. Your dollars have a real world impact on local families and individuals, and every dollar you spend in your community helps keep our local economy thriving!
Why shop local for the holidays, does it really matter that much?
It sure does!
We can attest from personal experience to the power of community support and local clientele! When you book an appointment with us for a railing or staircase installation, your dollars are supporting a family full of real people with real life expenses, and you really have a big impact on our day to day lives. Just as it does with bookings at our business, each sale made from a local shop or restaurant or even donation or membership made towards Patreons and Kickstarter campaigns means folks can put a roof over their heads and food on the table. Your purchase or booking may even support a side-hustle that is helping put someone through school without debt, paying back student loans, caring for a relative, affording childcare, paying for medical costs, etc.
Each independent creator and small business owner has their own “WHY” behind their work — and if you ask them, they’ll happily tell you all about their passion and motivation. Many chronically ill and disabled business owners and creators use their studio practices as an alternative to the prohibiting tasks of most traditional work environments; running your own business means setting an accommodating, flexible schedule to work at their own pace and within their personal limitations.
Well, what if I’m working on a budget or I’m not sure what specific item to get my gift recipient? How can I shop locally for friends and family without a wishlist?
Not sure what specific item to get, but know what your recipient loves the most? Why not get a gift card! They’re a perfect option for your gifting this holiday season, and a fantastic way to support a local business with patronage, especially cafes and restaurants. Even the smallest of businesses will be happy to work with you about pre-payments or down payments on commissions or be willing to write up a certificate of some kind. If you’re not sure if they offer gift certificate options, just ask! We also recommend checking out your local chamber of commerce office, which often has town or municipality specific gift cards to be used at local establishments, oftentimes even offering a purchase option of a discount book with coupons to be used all year long locally!
Or consider catering your holiday party from one of these fine establishments as a gesture of local support. Bringing your loved ones a baked good or pie from a local bakery or a box of pastries from the local coffee shop are great gift options! We are sure that you’ll find just what you’re looking for right here in your own backyard.
