Thanks for Buying Local

The Chamber of Southern Saratoga began a campaign this year to promote buying locally. Below are the top 10 reasons for buying local. So thank you, for shopping locally this holiday season and putting your money back into your economy.

Top 10 Reasons to "Buy Local"

#10 Keep Money in Our Community - Significantly more money re-circulates locally when purchases are made at locally owned businesses
#9 Support Community Groups - Non-Profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller locally-owned business owners.
# 8 Keep Our Community Unique - Where we shop, where we eat and have fun-all makes our community home.
# 7 Keep Recycling Your Dollar - Locally-sourced products are often "greener" because they don't require as many fossil fuels to reach you.
# 6 Create More Good Jobs - Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community-providing the most jobs to residents.
#5 Get Better Service - Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products they sell and take more time to get to know YOU!!
#4 Invest In Your Community - Local businesses are owned by people who live in your community and have much invested in our community's future.
#3 Put Your Taxes To Good Use - Buying local contributes to our community's tax base and charitable giving.

#1 It's the Right Thing To Do - Your family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances rely on you! Help us keep our community strong.

Chamber Angels

Last Thursday, Seaglass Logowear joined over a hundred individuals at the Chamber Angels gala. Located at the beautifully decorated Mohawk Country Club, Jess, Michele, Steve and I enjoyed the delicious food and wonderful company. Best of all, it is a great cause! All proceeds go directly to the children in Saratoga County providing them with gifts they would otherwise not receive this holiday season. We had our picture taken, courtesy of Creative Photography, and mounted to a magnet (but of course, it is too early in the morning for anything too cooperate and I can't get the photo on here...perhaps later).

The silent auction was fabulous and some members of the Seaglass team won a trip to the Mirror Lake Inn, Lake Placid as well as boot camp sessions! A great night, with fabulous company!

Seaglass Logowear Does Exist....

I realize I have not been keeping you up to date on the events with Seaglass Logowear....Did you know we moved? I know, I am slacking! This past August, we decided to expand our business by doubling our space. We now have a 4000 square foot store next to the DMV in Clifton Park Center. We love it here! It is open and spacious in here. Walking in the front door, you can see the entire production area, the garments being embroidered/printed, decals and banners printing. Ever wonder how it's done? Stop in and take a look.

Since I have now updated the blog after 6 months, I will work at keeping you up to date on the latest and greatest at Seaglass Logowear!
