Around the holidays, parents are quick to find simple gifts for 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 leave larger tips to restaurant staff who have served them all year long. It’s the holiday spirit that has us giving. Those who serve deserve our thanks.
This year my Christmas Wish is for us all to add our advertising Sponsors of Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors to our Christmas List. “Why? Because all of our loyal advertising Sponsors could tell me how their business supports their family, and how blessed they are to have loyal customers.” And how any one of them could ask me: “Bob, how can we show our gratitude to our local customers to let them know 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 Square 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. As a regular reader of your hometown magazine, you’ve been on the list of our Sponsors who make it possible for us to publish a new issue every month of the year.
Our Sponsors are on my Christmas List, and I am asking you to put them on your list 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 any one of them with your business, if possible, before this year ends. Buy an item, or buy a gift card or gift certificate for goods or services offered by your hometown Sponsors who make it possible for your monthly hometown magazine to be published and mailed to your home for free all year long.
Pick a few Sponsors listed on the facing page, add them to your Christmas List and Shop Local for a Christmas gift this year for someone special to you. Do it with hometown pride, knowing your purchase makes our hometown magazine possible for another year.
