Here we go…The 3/50 Project Great Lakes Tour! If you’re a merchant near any of these seven events, find a way to attend. There’s a lot of content offered in these sessions beyond what’s on our website or the Facebook page…including promotional ideas to help bring consumers back through the door—something we all agree is critical with fourth quarter looming on the horizon.

Hi Cinda,
I found your website and blog this evening while looking at another businesses website and I am completely impressed with what you are trying to accomplish! THANK YOU!! I was very disappointed to find out that you were in my home town earlier this month where I own a locally owned business and I didn’t even know that you were here…Do you plan to be in the Appleton, Wisconsin area anytime in the near future?
