Involvement in community seems to be of utmost importance to many of my fellow business owneres in this area. They all tend to practice shopping locally and encourage others do do the same. I certainly concur. Without that type of loyalty, we would leave it all to the big companies, possibly located outside our state, or worse, outside our country. The trick is to entice the residence to adhere to the same mindset.
Recently my neighbours purchased 8 new go-carts for their mini-amusement park operation. They were very intent on decorating them as soon as possible. After learning of their intentions, it dawned on me that they might be missing out on a golden opportunity to involve the community and incidentally earn a few duckets to put into the new rigs. Currently I'm concocting a proposal that will bring this entertaining pass-time together with local commerce.
The rest of the story is yet to be told. What I can say is that there is plenty of interest around town in cart sponsorship. With any luck it will generate a buzz worthy of a waiting list and a renewed commitment to small town shops. Vrooom... let's go!
