Empowered consumers start today!

We are very excited this week. It may be because of the storm that brought quite a bit of snow, giving us some much-needed moisture after a long, dry summer, and helping the work of our firefighters. It may be also because we have been working on a couple of blogs that empower us as consumers which, in turn, empowers us to support our fellow businesses with a fun contest for you to participate in.

What 10% holiday spending can do

Since we are approaching a somewhat frantic time of the year, let's all take a step back and think about what we can do to impact our national economy by keeping Americans at work and creating new jobs. Really, we accomplish this by directing a minimum of 10% of our holiday spending into American-made products. It’s that simple! 

The impact on a national level would be profound if everyone we know did the same! Give it a good effort and let's see how this economic force works to better this great country in which we live. Take a look at our most recent blogs which delves into this a little deeper. (Click on the picture of each blog)

What 10% of Your Holiday Spending Can Do

What about the new model?

We know some of you are anxious. Our next newsletter will announce the new model we’ve been secretly whispering about over the past few months...more drum rolls! And thank you again for those of you who have been patiently waiting for them. We can’t be more grateful for your patience and understanding.

Empowered consumers start today

When we have a chance to support each other's businesses, we create meaningful impact in our own communities. If you remember, a few years ago we had a customer survey for you to take part in. Our incentive was several Colorado-made baskets to win. We supported Colorado-made businesses that way, on top of making them known to you. Free publicity goes a long way for a business.
