A coming Holiday Campaign for Local and Independent Businesses

 Somerville Local First is planning a holiday campaign to encourage residents and community members to buy local for the holiday season.

What type of events and campaign elements would encourage and enable you to buy more from local businesses this holiday season?  

We'd love your thoughts and feedback as we construct the campaign.


Thanks,
Somerville Local First

Ideally, bicycle delivery should use the services of another Somerville Local business: Metro Pedal Power

Ideally, there would be many options! :-) MetroPed are great for larger deliveries, as they have those large electric trikes. Smaller deliveries are great for an ordinary bike, which can get around faster. (Though MetroPed might have more courier type bikers too, I'm not sure.)

But no matter who you hire to do your bike delivery business, it's going to make the local economy better.
