LSR Small Business Saturday - Business Sign-Up
This year the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is making Small Business Saturday in our community better than ever before and we want you to be a part of it! Through our Chamber’s partnership with the US Chamber of Commerce we have signed up our neighborhood to be one of the few communities in Chicago to promote and market this Shop Local day in a very big way. And the best part of this event is that it’s FREE FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN!
Sign up today and here’s what the Chamber will do for you:
- PRIOR TO SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29th
- Sign your business up through the Small Business Saturday website so you are included on the neighborhood map (if your business has not done so already)
- Come out to your store to take pictures for social media and public relations
- *The Chamber of Commerce is working with Small Business Saturday’s PR Firm Mbooth out of New York City to possibly coordinate media visits during this day. In addition, the Chamber’s PR Firm Ripson Communications is coordinating local coverage for participants.
- Enroll your business in the Lincoln Square Ravenswood Small Business Saturday Passport
*Consumers who shop at participating businesses will receive a stamp for shopping at your store (stamp given by cashier). Once the consumer has collected two stamps they will be entered to win a $50 American Express Gift Card. For every two stamps collected they will be entered one time into the raffle. Ten (10) winners will be chosen. - Delivery of Small Business Saturday marketing elements
- Hang banners around the community to promote Small Business Saturday in Lincoln Square and Ravenswood.
