Show Your Love for Local: Free Graphics Supporting Small Businesses

Each year, towards the end of the summer, as fall temperatures began to creep into our nights, we start working on a series of images for the upcoming holiday season. Not technically marketing material, but a theme focusing on one of our favorite topics, the joys and many benefits of "shopping small" and spending with independently owned businesses. Since 2021 we've rolled out a collection of quirky messages and simple signage encouraging everyone to join us in searching out - and spending with! - the best locally-owned shops, retailers, restaurants, service companies, etc.

  
This year, we had a bit of a dilemma; when posing the question to our Facebook followers, many of them picked a design we'd started out with last year and then went on to choose a different theme, meaning you may recognize a few of these styles. They've been updated and refreshed for this season, but that's not all; we've also rolled out a new line of shopping bag graphics in bright, festive, colors, each bearing a special phrase or memorable statement about "small business love". We hope you will love them! Please feel free to download and repost on your social channels, share with Facebook groups, or print out and display in your business location. To save the full-size high resolution image, click on any graphic to open the large version in a new window, then right-click and save to your device. They are easy to drop into Word documents, print as photos, or in a PDF! The only thing we request is that you kindly not alter the designs that we have created. 😊 Here are the shopping bag styles for 2024 ~

And THEN....since we'd posted this sampler image back in October....a number of people chose the "Buy Local Season" images (which we had debuted a few styles of last year), as their favorite. So of course, we had to include some of these messages as well.

We hope you enjoy this year's collection of "Buy Better, Shop Small" images. Check out and follow our Facebook page as we're always posting new designs in the albums there, and thank you for taking the time to visit us here. Happy Holidays!!

Sincerely,

Andrea Baumann
