We are excited to announce that Southern Ties Boutique of Mocksville, NC will be participating in the second-annual, nationwide, Pink Friday small business shopping experience, on November 19 in store and online 10 A.M.- 6 P.M.
Created by The Boutique Hub, Pink Friday is a small business spin on the traditional Black Friday shopping experience, reminding people to #ShopSmallFirst. Black Friday is the largest shopping day of the year, but the sales and promotions from big box stores often overshadow the experiences that small businesses are focused on providing. The goal on November 19th is to celebrate the businesses that are the backbone of our local communities.
“Small businesses took a massive hit last year,” says Ashley Alderson, Founder and CEO of The Boutique Hub. “The amount of small businesses that closed last year is monumental, and the trickle-down of that has a devastating impact on communities around the country. If a business didn’t close last year, they’re now faced with employment issues, inflation, immense supply issues, and a hefty increase in shipping costs. Now, more than ever, it’s our duty to support those businesses that are the heart of our communities and local economies.”
Pink Friday is strategically positioned the week prior to Black Friday, to ensure that small businesses are given the first opportunity to help shoppers in their quest for holiday gifts. These locally owned stores are usually overlooked by big corporate ran stores and deserve their own weekend to shine.
“We want shoppers to feel like they are buying meaningful gifts this year. With the help of our staff at Southern Ties Boutique, shoppers will get a personalized shopping experience catered to them.” says Crystal Moody, Manager of Southern Ties Boutique. “Choosing to shop small with us means you are making an impact in boosting local economy, supporting a woman owned business, and my dreams of making every woman in every size feel confident and as beautiful as God created them.,” says Suzanne Lakey, Owner. With every purchase you are also supporting ABC of NC, a center that provides services to people on the Autism Spectrum.
Southern Ties Boutique is offering fun Pink Friday deals that include local in store only specials as well as online deals for all customers.
