Pink Friday
Prepare to add a splash of local love to your shopping journey with the Pink Friday spirit! Pink Friday, a prelude to the Black Friday frenzy, is all about celebrating and supporting small businesses. Let’s delve into what Pink Friday is, why it matters, and how you, as a shopper, can play a pivotal role in uplifting your community.
What is Pink Friday? Pink Friday is a movement that encourages shoppers to prioritize and support small businesses in the week leading up to Black Friday.
Engaging in Black Friday sales is undeniably exciting, and in today's economic landscape, it's a practical choice. We're all geared up for the Black Friday shopping craze, and that's perfectly fine! However, amidst the hustle, let's not forget the importance of prioritizing small businesses, especially during the holiday season. Enter Pink Friday – a celebration of local businesses that allows us to shop locally without the guilt of occasionally supporting larger corporations. It's about finding a balance that keeps our communities thriving while still enjoying the perks of broader market offerings. This is your chance to celebrate the uniqueness of local establishments and contribute to the vibrancy of your community.
How to Support Small Businesses on Pink Friday:
Shop Local Sales: Explore the special deals and discounts offered by local businesses during Pink Friday. Whether it's handmade crafts, artisanal treats, or personalized gifts, you'll find a plethora of treasures while actively participating in the movement.
Buy Gift Cards: Consider purchasing gift cards from your favorite local spots. Not only does this provide immediate support to the business, but it also allows the recipient to enjoy a tailored shopping experience at their convenience. A lot of our vendors offer gift cards, and if they don’t reach out and see what you can work out between the two of you!
Spread the Word: Share your Pink Friday finds on social media and encourage others to join the movement. Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and your recommendation might lead someone to discover their new favorite local business. Make sure to leave reviews on our site for our vendors as well!
Prioritize Local: When making your shopping list, think local first. Whether it's gifts for loved ones or treats for yourself, explore the offerings from nearby businesses before turning to larger retailers.

As we approach the bustling holiday season, let's kick off the festivities by embracing the spirit of Pink Friday. By consciously choosing to support local businesses, you're not just making a purchase – you're investing in the heart of your community.
