When you #ChooseParker, you support local businesses owners and the members of the community they employ. Here are 10 ways you can help Parker shops and restaurants throughout the holiday season.
- #ChooseParker and shop within the Parker community — either in-person following recommended health practices or online
- Buy gift cards or certificates to use later or give as gifts
- Follow local businesses on social media and share or retweet their posts on your personal accounts
- Dine outside (when and where available) or order to-go or delivery meals
- Shop from a business or restaurant you’ve never visited before
- Pre-pay for your next service or appointment
- Write a positive online review for a local business or restaurant, or give them a shout out on your personal social media accounts
- Tip more than usual
- Check for new services or programs — many businesses are adapting or expanding their offerings
- Act with kindness, compassion and patience as local businesses and employees navigate this challenging time
