It's indie week in arizona

9/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Every year, usually the week leading up to Independence Day in July, we support a state-wide effort called Indie Week which highlights and encourages Arizonans to support small, locally owned businesses in every way that they can.  

This year, of course, nothing is normal.  Indie Week kinda got squashed.  And so it was brought back a bit late for the whole month of September to make up for it.  We are proud members of Local First Arizona who sponsors this event and hope that you will support this effort, now more than ever.

It's fun, it's the right thing to do, and... you stand to win some cool prizes.

​here's how it works

  • Indie Week XXL brings you a whole month to discover and support Arizona’s small, independent businesses — like us — and when we need it most!
​
  • ​Join in on the fun by visiting localfirstaz.com/indie-week to download your #IndieWeekAZ Action Card, shop and live locally (which you may already safely be doing), and get rewarded for it!
​
  • Cross just 5 calls-to-action off your card and get entered to win locally-curated prizes.
​
  • Small businesses need your help this summer. Shop with purpose, shop for your community, and let’s come out of this stronger together.

***  HINT:  We can help you cross-off the blocks with the red stars!  ​***

Peace and contentment,
