Black Friday draws numerous residents to metropolitan
centers and crowded shopping centers.
This year consider shopping local.
When you purchase items from a locally owned business, 68 cents of that
dollar is returned to your community. If
you spend it at a chain, only 43 cents is returned.
Saturday November 24 is Shop Local Saturday. Small business owners hope they can cash in
on some of the money spent during the Thanksgiving weekend. In Cameron County the chamber is going one
step further and suggesting that you purchase chamber bucks. The gift certificates can be used like cash
at more than 20 businesses in Cameron County.
The gift certificates come with a festive envelope ready for you to give
and there is no surcharge.
Employers are encouraged to order gift certificates by
calling the chamber. Provide a list of
denomination and names and the gift certificates will be ready for you to pick
up this busy time of year.
