The Downtown Canandaigua Merchants Association released the top ten reasons to shop downtown Canandaigua. This comes right before the holiday to remind consumers that where they spend their money can be just as important as their gift.
“Shopping downtown is a good habit,” Don Stevens says, president of the Merchant Association. “Most of your holiday shopping can be done by local merchants, who really appreciate your business.” Downtown Canandaigua is also home to many restaurants and galleries that are independently owned, who rely on locals to keep the economy steady.
The top ten reasons is a campaign created to increase the awareness of what actually happens when consumers support local independent businesses. The campaign is currently being promoted by newspapers, Facebook, radio, and their website at http://www.downtowncanandaigua.com..
Local merchants are also giving an incentive for shoppers, offering a $1000 shopping spree, which are given in gift certificates from shops, galleries, and restaurants. This is the third year for the holiday shopping spree, which is open for anyone over the age of 18.
