To help small businesses in Germantown have a successful winter and holiday season, Germantown United CDC is sponsoring a Buy Local campaign from November 2022 – January 23. We hope you will participate by filling out this form. To accurately and effectively promote your business, we need to know the basics plus info about sales, special events, and hours.
Our promo will be shared on social media and in email newsletters, collective online/print advertising, through our partners, and to the media. Some of the promotion will be thematic such as: Buy Local and Buy Black Sales, Holiday Marketplaces, Small Business Saturday Specials, Pop-ups, Gift Cards, Eating & Catering Spots, etc.
The campaign will begin with Small Business Saturday on Nov. 26, 2022 and run through Jan. 1, 2023. It is open to all businesses in G-town as a community service. This includes: brick and mortar businesses, e-commerce shops, and entrepreneurs who sell at events. If you are working/making/providing goods and services in Germantown, we want to know about it.
There is no deadline for participation. Businesses and events will be added as information is received, but the sooner the better! You can also send updates. At the end of the form, you can upload photos, flyers, etc. If you do not have imagery, please fill out the form first and ask us for assistance. Participating businesses will also receive:
- print and digital marketing materials for your use
- official “Shop Small” campaign swag (limited supply)
- buttons that say “I Love Germantown”
- canvas tote bags to provide to customers
