WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- For a few weeks now, we’ve collected contributions toward our annual Military Drive, which ended yesterday with Veterans Day. And along the way, we heard from several readers on limited budgets who lamented they couldn’t give more than they did.
Which got me to thinking about how there are so many ways to help/push venture and everything we do … without spending a solitary penny:
3. Stop and see us!
Yeah, we sell stuff at the Downtown HQ/shop, and we’re happy when anyone buys anything, but we’re no less happy when a reader/listener just pops by to say hello! Big smiles all around! Reminds of the real reason we started this whole thing!
2. Pass the word!
There are all kinds of ways to do this, from old-school word of mouth such as letting a friend or family member know what we offer in the way of Christmas fare, from gift subscriptions to the Downtown merch, to the countless new-school options in this category, such as retweeting our content on Twitter, sharing on Facebook and liking everywhere else on social media. You might be surprised to know how much of a difference the latter makes. These platforms reward engagement big-time, and you alone hold that key.
