Mark Your Calendars for Shop Local Day on May 3rd

April 3, 2014

 

Chesapeake Bank is teaming up again with the Greater Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism Alliance and area businesses for Shop Local Day. Participating merchants displaying The Buck Stays Here window decal will be offering hard-to-resist bargains. So, not only will shopping locally save you money, but when the buck stays here, we are recirculating money in our community to create a stronger and more prosperous local economy.

Ready to make your customized Shop Local Day shopping list? Go to blog.chesbank.com. Select the “For Shoppers” tab to preview merchant offers. Then, start creating your personal shopping itinerary by selecting from specific categories, like Art & Antiques or Clothing & Accessories. Choose your preferred location, like Greater Williamsburg. Next, print out your list and shop like you mean it. Some merchants will be extending their offers, so be sure to read each one carefully to get all the details. And, if you’re serious about shopping, you’re going to need the right gear. Pick up your free Shop Local shopping bag at any Chesapeake Bank branch or Chamber office.

If you're are an owner of a locally owned and operated business and would like to participate in Shop Local Day on May 3, just go to blog.chesbank.com, click on the "For Merchants" tab and complete the online participation form. It's easy and there is absolutely no cost to you. For additional details, please call Chesapeake Bank at 800-434-1181 or email banklocal@chesbank.com.
