Small Business Saturday

#ShopSmall Treasures I found

So how do you think the #ShopSmall campaign went in your local town?

I just finished watching the local news on Hawaii News Now and it looks like local businesses benefited from the ads on TV from American Express and very likely Twitter and Facebook as well!

In Hawaii 98% of the 30,000 businesses are Small Businesses (HNN).  I am a small business and have had a few of them myself, so this was a very important campaign for me to support.  I manage Social Networks for a few Small Businesses and made sure to remind the followers and fans to #ShopSmall.

Today I supported the #ShopSmall Campaign by going to a local Craft Fair that featured local artists to do some of my Christmas Shopping.  I got a beautiful hand painted original piece of art by Veralynn Villanueva (I hope I spelled that right).  Some sea shell earrings from Ari’i Mea Hana.

I hope you got some good shopping in today at your local businesses.  If you did please comment and tell me where you found your treasures!

Hawaii NEEDS to get on the Groupon Train!

Have you heard of Groupon?  I really see a huge benefit to business’ and to the consumers from this service.  This is a little bit about what they do-  Groupon negotiates huge discounts—usually 50-90% off—with popular businesses. They send the deals to thousands of subscribers in a free daily email, and send the businesses a ton of new customers. That’s the Groupon magic.

You can personalize the deals to your location or maybe a location you are traveling to…

You can buy and redeem Groupons on your mobile device…

You could buy someone a Groupon gift…

You could also get your business on Groupon, so you can offer deals and bring in the bus loads to your business!

If you are interested in using Groupon for your business check out my Service/Mod Profile Management page and I could set it up AND manage it for you!

You can start with getting one of these deals below, enjoy!

Mama’s day gift #2 Belly Bandit

What NEW Mama wouldn’t want to have a little help getting that pre-pregnancy tummy back?  (I don’t know one!)  The Belly Bandit is awesome not only for the purpose of getting rid of the post baby belly, but also serves a great purpose of supporting a new mama’s back!

Imagine having your tummy muscles stretch and maneuver for 9 months to accommodate a growing baby…  Well those muscles are no longer where they should be!  So to relieve your back muscles of carrying all the weight of your upper body (cause the abs just ain’t doing it!) you use the Belly bandit to train the muscles back together and support the back, while transitioning back to your normal self!

What i have listed below are two of the popular styles that are offered!  Please comment if you have questions about the product or purchasing.  Don’t forget to stop by www.facebook.com/mamaalamode and say you like us;)

The deluxe Couture Belly Bandit  is fully covered with soft lightweight fabric. A solid outer cover with an inside peek-a-boo print.  Why not feel extra cute while losing that post-pregnancy belly? The Couture Belly Bandit  is designed for the ultra chic mommy! 

The eco-friendly Bamboo Belly Bandit  is inherently antibacterial, moisture wicking, and three times more durable than cotton.  Bamboo is a sustainable crop that requires no pesticides; fungicides; herbicides, or additional water. Fabric made from Bamboo is one of the softest; all natural; and GREENEST fibers around.
