I SHOP LOCAL

November 23, 2011 - Carol McBee

Two women with big hearts for Edmonton have lauched a "local movement" through their connections and blogs.  City and Baby & City and Dale are both challenging you to shop, live and spend local this holiday season.

These girls are passionate about their community and all their ideas celebrate and support locate entrepreneurs JUST LIKE YOU so let's support them right back by following their easy steps & posting their badge on our own websites and blogs.

 

Ideas for embracing "I Shop Local"

1. Choose to purchase at least two gifts locally. Three. Four. All. Of course, more is better.

2. When celebrating with family and friends, choose to dine locally. Or warm up at a local coffee house.

3. Share your love for local on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+….. and encourage others to choose to shop local this holiday season.

4.  Steal one of the lovely holiday ornaments or badges and add it to your blog or organization’s website. You can link it back here if you like. Or use it to simply adorn your digital home.

Even all of the graphic design was sourced locally in Edmonton by Childish (also an amazing Bossy Mama member!) Feel free to take any of these icons below and proudly add them to your own website or blog.  Additional icons are available on City and Baby's blog!
