“We’ve created an extensive Love for Local toolbox that businesses can use to encourage their customers to buy local this Valentine’s season. Business owners can proudly display our Love for Local signs in their window or near their register. We have colorful posters that we can provide for those who want to make a big statement. We have also created a variety of social media-based materials so that businesses can reach their online customers”, said Michael Ward, Director of Explore Jerseyville Tourism. “In addition, we can provide business owners with shopping bag Valentines thanking their customers. We suggest that businesses use our Love for Local template to create their own Valentine message for their social media accounts. “
