Peabody promotion encourages consumers to shop locally, win big
By Joanna Brazil
Director, Peabody Main Street Assn
Can you believe it? It's that time of year again already! Between battling dust bunnies, putting up decorations, preparing holiday treats for friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors, and finding the current list of addresses for holiday greeting cards among other holiday preparations and traditions, where does one find the time to shop?
Fortunately, we have the answer! You need not spend hours waiting in lines, driving through bad weather on U.S.-50 to get to Wichita for your holiday shopping. Save time, energy, and money by exploring the fantastic businesses here in town, and you will be sure to find those holiday treasures.
This Saturday, we begin our annual shopping spree promotion and we invite you to participate.
Several businesses have joined together to provide opportunities to win Peabody Bucks for shopping locally this holiday season. For more information on how to win money for the holidays, visit our stores!
Really, you are a winner EVERY time you shop locally. Here are a few reasons why:
You win a close parking spot to your shopping destination. You win a healthier economic environment for your family's community. You win continued support from local businesses for community events, and school sports, clubs, and programs. You win friendly customer service from your local merchants who care about you, your family, and our community.
Your dollar is the gift that keeps on giving. Each dollar you spend in town circulates at least three to five times within the community. You win extra gas mileage and less wear-and-tear on your vehicle when it isn't used for a drive to a BigBox in Wichita. You win more time to spend at home with your family. You win an opportunity to show our businesses that you appreciate having them in town. You win unique gifts and gift ideas that you didn't even know we had in town until you took a moment to see the great stuff we have! You win the chance to see and visit with other friendly faces who also are supporting our community by shopping locally!
The Peabody Main Street Annual Peabody Bucks Shopping Spree Promotion begins Saturday when Peabody welcomes the holiday season with Santa, free hot chocolate, downtown caroling, shopping, Christmas Village, a vintage Christmas card workshop, antique stores open house, and a book signing at Jackrabbit Hollow.
We invite you to have fun exploring our businesses this holiday season. Happy holidays and happy shopping!
