DESPERATELY SEEKING DONATIONS!

After a record-breaking April sales month, our shop is looking pretty empty!

OK, truthfully, this is a photo from a few weeks ago as we prepared to accept a whole-house donation. To our great delight, most of that donation is now sold, and our shop is once again ready to accept any and all donations you may have been saving up for us. It’s looking pretty sparse in here!

And if you are in the midst of spring cleaning, please consider donating to us and keep your items out of the landfill. We are able to do what we do because of the generosity of our donors, and we can’t thank you enough for your continued support.

Lil’s Thrift Shop is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) dedicated to animal welfare and abuse prevention programs in Rutherford County, fully staffed by volunteers. You can support us by donating new and gently used household items, through financial contributions, by shopping at our store, or signing up to become a Lil’s volunteer! Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram, or check us out on our website!

Monday Motivation: IT’S NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS WEEK -April 28-May 4.

Shop Local, Shop Small 🛍️🛒

Small Business Owners Here Are Some Tips To Shine This Week:

👉 Email customers to tell them you're making a big deal of National Small Business Week. Just tell your email list you're participating and what you're doing. Consider an email marketing platform if you haven't before.

👉 Make a local promotion. Remind people that your business is part of their community. What you do will depend on your business, but some ideas can include discounts, buy-one-get-one-free, a free sample or trial service or a giveaway item for business conducted during the week. Announce it by email, a sign in your window or buy an ad in your local newspaper or contact the Chamber to run in our email blasts.

👉 Education. Find a way to share what you know with prospects and customers. Utilize social media, it’s free.

👉 Be social. Mention your participation on your Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest or YouTube (if you have a channel). Talk about yourself and why you're in business. Be personable. Ask for your viewers to share your National Small Business Week post or video. Or create a hashtag they can use to be creative.

👉 Special hours. Be open all week, or maybe even expand your hours.

👉 Branded items. A T-shirt, a button, a cap. You can wear it. Your employees can wear it. Your customers can wear it. Your name, your website.

🛜 Network with and support other small business owners. The Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce is the largest networking organization in Rutherford County.
