"Be Local!" A very important topic for the Prissy Hens! One of the aspects on which our show was created was our desire draw attention to local events and local businesses. We want to make people understand the importance of "keeping your money at home."
The Prissy Hens make this a focus of our lives. Having owned local businesses, we know the importance of a strong local economy, or maybe we don't just know it...we focus on it and recognize how that impacts every area of our lives.
As the holidays approach, we have been busy meeting and talking about ramping up the "Be Local" campaign to entice people to shop local. To make people aware of the great choices and availablity of products we have locally to choose from.
These local businesses are the people who sponsor ball teams and donate to charities, who employee our citizens, who generate sales tax dollars. It seems fun to go somewhere else to go out for dinner, yet, if we fail to patronize our local restaurants, and i mean by local any restaurant located in Dickson (if you are here, you are local), then our restaurants will fail or at best will suffer from poor sales. Resulting in us never being able to attract new businesses, who bring jobs and commerce to our hometown. The same goes for our local retail businesses.
This is maybe not as fun a post as we like to write, but an important one to us. We are fun and silly and shallow but we are also smart business women, it is one of the things that makes us interesting!
