Here is why it is important! This example is for a Quilt Shop, but I am sure you can relate it to any one of the small businesses around town!
So, exactly - what is "It Takes a Thread" all about? Believe it or not, if every person who receives an email from us came into the shop once a month and simply purchased a spool of thread, it would pay the rent for a month. Really!
If every person added to that spool of thread, a package of needles and a yard of fabric, it would pay salaries. Really!
That is what "Small" business is all about.
It is about reflecting on the businesses in your community that are meaningful to you, and about supporting "Small" independent businesses so that they remain viable and vital to your community.
It's an easy thing to do. And it doesn't take much. Just a spool of thread.............
