Independents Week - A Celebration of Arizona's Independent Businesses

Local First Arizona will be kicking off Independents Week, from June 30th through July 8th, 2018
in celebration of the Independence Day holiday and Arizona's independent businesses.

Join us! The goal is to raise awareness of locally owned businesses in the state and encourage individuals to “go local” for an entire week, June 30th through July 8th, 2017.

Participating LFA member businesses will accept a "Golden Coupon" during Independents Week which will be made available to consumers both physically and digitally. You can pick up your Golden ticket at the Cottonwood Chamber office or download one HERE.

Check out all the great offers from participating businesses in the Verde Valley here.

Are you an Arizona Independent Business? You can participate! 
Independents Week is about linking arms with your fellow local businesses across the state and highlighting Arizona Independents.

• You decide on a 20% offer - this could be just one item, brand or label, or could be store wide and can include your own limitations as you see fit. Share your 20% offer now by emailing lauren@localfirstaz.com

• LFA will promote your offer and your participation as an independent business through multiple channels, driving new and return customers to you.

• Last year, we had over 500 participating members, nearly $100,000 in reported spending by consumers, with our most successful member recording $30,000 in sales.

• Strong "clusters" of businesses in different communities are more attractive to visitors.

• Independents Week is less about offering a promotion and more about identifying yourself as an independently owned place of business, both for tourists and loyal residents.
