Shop Local Stories
We already know that small businesses contribute more to the local economy than their corporate counterparts, but we also know that the importance of local businesses goes way beyond just a single transaction.
Love Live Local is excited to team up with The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod and Cape Cod Broadcasting Media highlight the contributions of small businesses to our community, and we are inviting people to share their favorite Shop Local Stories with us – how a local business you know is giving back to the community, providing exceptional customer service, working with other local businesses or providing employment opportunities in a unique and interesting way.
Nominate your favorite local small business for a chance to be featured on our website, social media platforms and monthly email PLUS radio spotlights on Cape Cod Broadcasting Media!
Huge thank you to The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod and Cape Cod Broadcasting Media for supporting our local small businesses!
