We love our local businesses. Really, it’s true. At least that’s the underlying message received from the recently conducted BWNA survey.
We’ll have a full rundown of the survey results in the January-February newsletter, but a sneak preview found that when asked what section of the newsletter readers enjoyed most, 72% of respondents chose articles about new businesses. Furthermore, when asked what they’d like to see more of in the newsletter, the highest percentage of respondents, nearly 44%, chose articles about local businesses.
I think we can conclude from this that many B-W residents are interested in what businesses in Beaumont Village are offering. So how can we show those beloved businesses that we’ll do more than click survey buttons to register our support? You knew this was coming: we can shop, eat, and drink at them, as well as do business with professional services conveniently located there.
For many businesses the holiday season is a make-or-break time. So, what do you say? Let’s show them a lot of love in the next couple of months and beyond.
And on our end, we’ll strive to cover as much business news as space allows and our all-volunteer newsletter team can muster.
And now, let the holiday season begin!
