One of the most often asked questions during media interviews about The 3/50 Project is “Does it work?”…which is second only to “Do consumers ‘get it’?”
Yup. To both.
But hey, don’t just take my word for it. [click here to continue…]

The 3/50 Project
What’s the hot topic this holiday season? Local, independent brick and mortar businesses–how they’re faring, and why they’re important.
Oh yeah. And who supports them (enter: The 3/50 Project).
Check out the article that ran on AOL Small Business yesterday. Pretty great stuff, with lots of positive juice. Sweeeeeet!

Heads up to those of you in the Jacksonville, Florida area: I’ll be one of the guests on tomorrow morning’s edition of Florida Public Radio’s program, First Coast Connect (WJCT 89,9 FM), talking about The 3/50 Project. The segment is slotted to air at approximately 9:25 EST, so set your clocks….
Big thanks to Florida Public Radio for the invite; the more consumer ears who hear about the importance of supporting local, independent brick and mortars, the better-—for all of us.

Ooh, how I do love it when The 3/50 Project gets great national coverage! Check out the article that ran today on Daily Finance, written by Bruce Watson, about who we are, what we stand for, and what we need to keep moving the Project forward.
(On a personal note, a big high five to Bruce, who is one heck of a fun person to be interviewed by.)

On the heels of a carefully worded Facebook request that supporters of The 3/50 Project please respect our registered trademarks and copyrights, a handful of followers made a great suggestion: Why not create a Facebook image specifically for use on supporters’ profiles?
Why not, indeed? Ask and ye shall receive…. [click here to continue…]

Somehow, it seems fitting that the original television station in our country’s original capital would be the one to report on “Saving the brick and mortars our nation is built on,” doesn’t it?
A heartfelt thank you goes to KYW-TV (CBS) in Philadelphia for the great piece about local businesses making it work this holiday season. Too many times, we hear the doom and gloom; it’s nice to see cameras pointed toward the positive again, which is what The 3/50 Project is all about.
Here’s to the beginning of a move-it-forward holiday season!

While The 3/50 Project applies all year long, today is special–today is the day business owners hope to see crowds and cash, both of which have been in short supply the past couple of years. Today is Black Friday 3/50 Friday.
Among the crush of national chains opening at 4:00 a.m. and parking lots packed with crazed, coupon carrying shoppers, there are thousands of terrific smaller businesses, providing unique gifts and treats–many with just as appealing prices and considerably better service. [click here to continue…]

You know that little idea I tossed out there yesterday, suggesting we rename the day after Thanksgiving 3/50 Friday? Well, guess what? It’s taken off like a rocket, and has already been mentioned in a terrific piece by WISC-TV (CBS) in Madison, Wisconsin. A huge thanks goes to Maria Guerrero for what is, to date, one of the single best news segments I’ve seen about The 3/50 Project. It’s not often a piece actually causes me to throw my arms in the air and cheer…
…which this did.
Okay, folks. Love it? Then share it. Use the little icons just below this post to blast the message far and wide. Together, we can turn this holiday week into a massive small business lovefest.
