Around the holidays, parents are quick to find simple gifts or their children to give to their Teachers. And people of goodwill remember their Letter Carriers and Trash Collectors with tips for their faithful service all year. Most of us will make end-of-year gifts to our churches, synagogues and charities we support. Some even give extra tips to restaurant staff who have served them all year long. It’s right. Those who serve, deserve our thanks. So this year, let’s also remember our hometown Sponsors.
Think about our advertising Sponsors of Newtown Edgmont Friends & Neighbors. Imagine one of them saying to me, “This business supports my family, and we are blessed by the loyalty of our customers.” And then imagine that same business owner asking me, “How can I thank our customers? What gift can I give them to show them how important they are to the success of our business all year long?”
If I were asked that question by an advertising Sponsor, I would tell them, “Your customers already know you value them, and you have been giving them a gift all year long: their hometown magazine, Newtown Edgmont Friends & Neighbors, which they love receiving in the mail every month for free, thanks to you.” It’s true. The gift of hometown pride and Bringing People Together, through our special brand of social media in print, is only possible by the annual support of all the businesses that you see every month advertising on these pages. Maybe we should be thinking about a gift for those hometown heroes.
Our Sponsors are on my Christmas List, and I am asking you to put them on yours too. Pick out a few. Find their ad in our magazine and make the effort, visit them, or call them to tell them, “Thank you for making our hometown magazine possible.” And consider, as your personal show of gratitude, gifting them with your business before this year ends. Buy an item, or buy a gift card or gift certificate for goods or services offered by some Sponsor of this magazine, which you enjoy receiving in the mail every month for free.
Pick a few Sponsors listed on this page, add them to your Christmas List, and Shop Local for a Christmas gift this year for someone. Do it with hometown pride, knowing that your purchase makes our hometown magazine possible for another year.
Stop By… And Make a Purchase! When they say Thank you for your business, tell our Sponsors: No… Thank You… for
sponsoring our hometown.
