We all know times are tough, especially here in Michigan. Chatting with all my other local retailer friends in downtown Royal Oak, the attitude is the same "we're hanging in there" (by the skin of our chinny chin chins). It seems like every month there is another store or restaurant that is closing, the most sad are the ones that have been our favorites for years & years. This year is a real test for all of us, we can only hang in there for so long!
The 3/50 Project is dedicated to spreading the word on how easy it truly is to help support our local retailers. We all know its easy to pick up a gift while buying toothpaste at Target or running into the mall on our lunch hour. But since we're all spending less, we should all make spending an experience. A girlfriend of mine admits she's spending less on gifts, so shopping at local boutique-y stores make the gifts more special - it truly isn't about what you spend but that the gift is as special as the person receiving it.
