Letter: Small businesses here worthy of our support

Posted

To the editor:

On each of the seven days between June 22 to June 28, Little Compton Community First (LCCF) shared the profiles, contact information, web addresses and Facebook pages of three small businesses based here in Little Compton. As part of LCCF’s “buy local” message, the profiles for these 21 businesses were sent to our entire membership via email and also posted on the LCCF Facebook page.  This was a completely free, zero obligation campaign offered by LCCF in support of our local small businesses.

The list of businesses included Sayles Livingston Design, Chartier Builders, Sakonnet Lawn Care, RM Construction, Crowther’s Restaurant, Serena’s Studio, The Art Café, Young Family Farm, Earle’s Service Station, Compton Clambakes, Wood’s Small Engines, Simmons Café and Market, Sakonnet Lobster Company, Gleeson’s Wine & Spririts, Little Compton Wellness Center, Southcoast Payroll & Bookkeeping, the Local Bouquet, InsiDesign, Back to Center Massage, South Shore Custom Cabinetry and Davoll Graphic Design.  The various profiles received nearly 120 Facebook “Likes” and over 1,600 were “reached” on Facebook, not to mention the hundreds of emails which were sent to our membership and countless website visits.

We at LCCF encourage everyone to check out these businesses and to also support a “buy local” message, knowing that supporting small businesses based here in town benefits the entire community.  The variety of services offered right here in Little Compton by our small businesses is truly outstanding.  If you have a small business here in Little Compton and if you are interested in participating in future campaigns, or if you’d like to join our free membership, please write to info@lccfirst.org or visit our Facebook page.  And be sure visit our table at the Little Compton Church Fair on July 11.
