A Penticton” slow style” business is rethinking Black Friday sales and deciding to do a “percent for” rather of giving” % off.”
Bryan and Susie Gay, a husband-and-wife group, launched Slow Current in June, selling household items, accessories, and clothing from ethically produced, green American brands.
Susie stated that a neighborhood give-back event is being held, and 20 % of all profits will be donated.
She continued,” People will be able to support local schools while shopping from our 46 conscious brands and sipping delectable wines from Canter Cellars.”
The event takes place on Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m.
” For every dollar spent at a local company, 66 percent stays local,” but on” Small Business Saturday,” we deliberately made an effort to achieve this.
From Friday through Monday ( Nov. 24- 26 ), the store is also running the online sale program at shop. sluggishcurrent. Customers can simply observe the class in the order comments to manage the 20 % donation in California.
Susie stated that they also intend to hold a second give-back fundraising evening in December for nonprofits and community organizations, where we would extend the 20 % contribution to their business as well.
Individuals who are serious are contacted via email [email protected ] to express interest in being included.
