โจNot to be an alarmist, but this holiday season and this year has been extremely hard for every small business that I have spoken to, including us. Tariffs, supply chain issues, delayed shipping, ๏ฟผrising costs of everything... all of these things have affected the small businesses you know and love.
โจ๏ฟผIt has been the greatest honor of my life to be able to open a small business and serve this community for all of your wellness and giftgiving needs. As a woman, single mother, and only parent, creating this space has not always been easy, but it has absolutely been worth every smile shared and every tear shed. ๏ฟผ๏ฟผ
โจIt would break my heart to think of a day that GOA or any of our beloved small businesses are no longer here. Closing our doors has never even been an option, but the reality of the economy is hurting all of us. We need you now more than ever!
โจWe realize that you are feeling the pain of this economy as well, and that is why we want to thank you for choosing to spend your hard earned dollars at any local small business. Amazon, Walmart, and any other corporation does not need your money. A $30 sale means nothing to the owners of that those companies, but it could be life-changing for a small business.๏ฟผ
โจIn an effort to๏ฟผ help you and support another small business, we are introducing the following promotion starting this Thursday. Shop at GOA or the Olde Towne Book Shop in Olde Towne Slidell between 12/18-12/20 and save 20% off at the other store. All you have to do is show your paper or digital receipt that corresponds to the days of the promotion and you will receive a discount.
โจBoth of our shops want to thank you in advance and for your years of support. We wouldn't be here without you. Both of us send so much love and wish you all the most magical holiday season ever.๐ซถ๐ผ๏ฟผ
