Win a Peabody shopping spree
Ten reasons to shop locally
By JOANNA BRAZIL
Peabody Main Street Assn. Director
Peabody will welcome the holiday season Nov. 30 during its annual parade, fireworks, pictures with Santa, and downtown caroling.
The activities signal the beginning of the Peabody Bucks Shopping Spree promotion sponsored by the Peabody Main Street Association.
By shopping in Peabody this holiday season, you may win Peabody bucks to spend as you wish!
You are always a winner when you shop locally.
"What is it I win?" you may ask. Following are 10 reasons why town residents "win" when they shop locally.
1. You win a healthier economic environment for your family's community.
2. You win friendly customer service from your local merchants who care about our community.
3. Your dollar is the gift that keeps on giving. Each dollar that you spend in town circulates at least three to five times within the community.
4. You win continued support from local businesses for community events.
5. You win your choice in products and services available in town. What you buy helps determine the supply and demand of products and services.
6. You win extra gas mileage that isn't used for a drive to another community.
7. You win more time to spend at home with your family.
8. You win a button when you turn in a shopping promotion card (when the promotion begins Nov. 30).
9. You win a close parking spot to your shopping destination.
10. You win the chance to see and visit with other friendly faces who also are supporting our community by shopping locally!
Any individual or organization who has not yet signed up for the annual parade can call 983-2174 or e-mail pmsa@peabodyks.com. This year's theme is "Home for the Holidays."
