Goochland Chamber of Commerce Announces "Small Business Season"The Goochland Chamber of Commerce just announced the start of the a new initiative to help support local businesses.
Beginning on November 1, the Chamber kicked off its marketing efforts with "Shop. Eat. Enjoy. Local." social media campaign and contest. Throughout the holiday shopping season, the Chamber is encouraging consumers to "Think Local" and earmark at least part of their holiday spending in support of local small business.
"When people spend their dollars locally, more money stays local. On average, for every $100 spent locally, $68 of that stays here," Goochland Chamber executive director Carol Taylor shared. "I challenge Goochland County citizens to shop local first this holiday season. Gift cards to local restaurants, a basket filled with local wines, beer, cider and spirits, a little something for the home or a plant from the local nursery. The options are vast"
As part of the "Shop. Eat. Enjoy. Local." social media contest, the Chamber will be featuring a small business on its social media channels every Thursday. Viewers who like, comment, and share the post will be included in a ad drawings to win a $25 gift card to that business.
To learn more about the Goochland Chamber, please visit their website at https://www.goochlandchamber.org/ or plan to attend the next Business After Hours on November 15th at Byrd Cellars.
