Advertising for Independent Retailers in July

July 18–24 is National Independent Retailers Week.

Ad/Promotion Ideas:

• Create a shop local campaign such as spend $24 locally on the 24th or save 20% at featured retailers on the 20th or use game cards (i.e. bingo or board game style) to encourage store traffic.
• Create a shopping guide. Need articles? Pull from our professionally written editorial or give the advertisers editorial/advertorial copy space in exchange for an ad.
• Partner with your local government, chamber of commerce and/or shopping districts.
  

Business to Contact: Contact all local independent retailers including those specializing in:

• Clothing
• Hardware
• Furniture
• Liquor
• Sporting goods
• Jewelry

Keywords: shopping, store or local
