Dear Valued Members,
I want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your valued membership with Michigan Retailers Association. Together, we’ve built a vibrant community of retailers who are dedicated to fostering a thriving local economy.
We’re just a few short weeks away from our annual celebration of Michigan retailers, Buy Nearby Weekend, which takes place from October 4-6. This event is not only a celebration of Michigan’s incredible and unique array of retailers, but also a powerful reminder to consumers of the importance of shopping local and its impact on our communities. It’s your time to shine, showcase what makes our businesses unique, and bring our communities together.
To help you prepare for this shop-local celebration, we’re offering each store a free Buy Nearby Weekend Survival Kit. This kit is designed to provide you with everything you need to make the most of the weekend, from promotional materials, to data points for shoppers, and a few freebies to keep you energized and motivated. Do not miss this opportunity!
That’s not all: By requesting your free Survival Kit, you’ll also be entered for a chance to win a $750 Visa gift card, an extra incentive for our valued members. Non-members will be in the running for a free year of MRA membership.
Together, we can make this annual event a huge success. Your participation not only helps to strengthen your own business but also contributes to the growth and vitality of Michigan’s entire retail landscape.
I encourage you to sign up for your Survival Kit today, as supplies are limited. Thank you for your commitment to our mission, and let’s continue working together to keep Michigan retail strong.
Warm regards,
William J. Hallan
President and CEO
Michigan Retailers Association
