<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">It&#8217;s a wrap!</span></strong> The PCBC&#8217;s cross-county <a href="https://putnamcountybusinesscouncil.com/payin-it-forward/">holiday retail promotion</a> was both a success and an exceptional experience of connection, community, and support for our local merchants. Timed around Small Business Saturday, the tour featured 14 retailers over three days &#8212; plus a few restaurant stops for refueling!</p>
<blockquote>
<div>&#8220;The secret to success for retailers this holiday season is a safe shopping experience and increased visibility to ensure the extended Putnam community knows who they are, where they are and what they offer,&#8221; said PCBC Chairwoman Jennifer Maher. &#8220;Our retail promotion aims to jumpstart the holiday season and get people thinking about how they can shop local before they hit the Amazon buy button. Together we can be the heroes of our own local economy.&#8221;</div>
</blockquote>
<div>In order to drive shoppers to Shop Small® beyond the holidays and into the winter season, the PCBC and its sponsors are investing in local advertising and digital marketing to spotlight Putnam small businesses and promote the impact they have on the community.</div>

Created by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday celebrates the impact small businesses have on communities across the country.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">PCBC Chairwoman Jennifer Maher, along with PCBC board members, Economic Development Task Force, and County Executive MaryEllen Odell, will visit retailers across the county. Starting a week in advance of Small Business Saturday, the tour will include videotaped interviews with shop owners and patrons, which will be used as a promotional campaign to keep the community thinking and shopping locally throughout the winter season. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“We have been doing our Small Business Saturday tours for the past seven years now,” says Maher. “This year, we want to bolster this great event by putting our visits to greater use. Capturing and showcasing the unique local treasures that shoppers can find right here in Putnam will drive momentum and retail foot traffic past the holidays.”</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“With folks staying home or at least close to home for the holidays, there may be a silver lining for local retailers this year,” says County Executive Odell. “Before you press the Amazon Buy button, consider helping your business neighbors first. The more we spend at home, the quicker our economy will recover.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order to drive shoppers to Shop Small® beyond the holidays and into the winter season, the PCBC and its sponsors are investing in local advertising and digital marketing to spotlight Putnam small businesses and promote the impact they have on the community.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Merchants who would like to be part of the PCBC’s Pre-Holiday Retail Promotion should email </span><a href="mailto:info@putnamcountybusinesscouncil.com"><span style="font-weight: 400;">info@putnamcountybusinesscouncil.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for details. Businesses who are interested in sponsoring membership for a favorite retail establishment are also encouraged to contact the Business Council.</span></p></blockquote>
