GARDNERVILLE: Main Street Gardnerville, the Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce and Main Street Minden are working together to make it fun and rewarding for consumers to shop our local retailers.
Our fourth partner in this effort is American Express, who is the national promoter of the event. Local member businesses have been enlisted to be part of the day’s events. A list of the participating stores will be available on the Main Street Gardnerville, Carson Valley Chamber of Commerce & Main Street Minden web sites starting November 9 and the stores will be displaying the ‘Shop Small’ logo in their windows. There will also be space available in the museum for Chamber members who do not have a physical location to participate.
Participating businesses will have special offers and will conduct their own contest within their store, offering a prize valued at $20 or more to a lucky shopper. That way, shoppers can potentially win something at each store they visit.
The real goal, of course, is to encourage shoppers to seek out the specialized service and product knowledge that you get from small businesses and to keep holiday shopping dollars in Carson Valley, where they can circulate and have the greatest impact. Make your plans now to Shop Small on Small Business Saturday.
