You may see these kinds of post here n there and you scroll past, cause it doesn't seem to make a difference to you.
Right now downtown Amherst has every building Full with businesses! Yay! 😁
But, we can't stay open without daily customers. I know you think, I can't shop Every day! Well, how often do you shop Amazon or other online places? You probably look at something almost daily and place it in your cart, then at least once a week you probably have it shipped to you. You're not alone... tons of people do the same thing. The sad part of that is, it's putting businesses near you in Jeopardy.
Still don't really see how it effects you...
- well, next time you need a bday gift for a friend that your meeting for dinner in 20 minutes and one of your go-to shops is closed... what now?
- It's so much fun doing lunch and shopping with friends. It's like therapy! Sadly all the shops you loved going to are closed. Will you now sit around a screen to shop?
- Need an outfit for a special event coming up? Even though it's causal you want something new, so you order from Amazon. Only to find out it's going to be delivered after you need it OR the fabric gathers in all the wrong places and the sizes you ordered are not USA sized at all.
Going to a local business gives you a 100% sure transaction. You see it, feel it, try it AND theres staff that can help you with how things fit, getting sizes for you while you're in the fitting room, helping with accessories... ALL so you walk out with a smile and confidence.
Please don't forget to shop at all your favorite small businesses. We Truly Care About You! You're not just a number, you're our customer and when you're happy, we're happy! We do what we do for You! ♥️
* Challenge yourself to visit more small shops, small restaurants and small businesses. Amherst is filled with soooo many! 🌻
