We know you're getting ready for it ... the big Thanksgiving week ahead! Travel, food, clothing. It's going to be a great week (right?) especially if you're prepared. Luckily, we have ideas from our local business supporters that will make getting what you need easy.
TIP: Next Friday at 8 am, we are publishing our Black Friday Issue that will include the deals from our amazing advertisers who help make producing this publication possible. Friday will be a big day for you to find savings from your favorite stores, hair salons, restaurants, wherever it is that you need things from. Don't be shy about buying gift certificates for yourself (totally doing this at Salon Dae).
If you are a retail business who has been thinking of advertising with A Little Beacon Blog, this is a great time to start. Here's how.
