So I’m connecting with SBOs in the 941 area and offering to promote them with a free listing this Holiday Season in the #ShopLocal941 Holiday Guide. This guide will circulate prior to Black Friday to get the word out in our community about Local Small Businesses where residents can shop or visit and any special sales or promotions they can expect.”
