And Sew On... March 8th, 2021 |
|
Over the last year, we have been very blessed to enjoy your continued support of Arizona Quilts, even amid a global pandemic.
We do appreciate it!
The above graphic lists several easy ways to help support our store in a place you may already be spending some time ... social media!
We try to post several times a week and even shoot a Facebook Live most every Wednesday morning. We love using this format to reach out to you, our amazing customers, to highlight new products, classes, or even
special events that may tickle your fancy!
We also use social media to post pictures of classes or folks that may drop by just to give us a glimpse of some of their amazing projects.
This is where you come in ... if you are on social media, here is the best way to ensure you are a part of all the action. On Facebook, just go over to our page at https://www.facebook.com/ArizonaQuilts,
and below the Message button, just click the Like button and this will notify you when we post something. Now, if you are on Instagram, you can go here arizona.quilts then click the Follow button and you will also be alerted when we post something.
As you read through the list of ideas of how to support your local business/quilt shop above, some of these terms may appear to be a foreign language to many of us. On that note, I have a suggestion to help you interpret this foreign language ... just ask your grandkids and they can help guide you through the 21st-century art of tagging a friend, commenting with an emoji, sharing a post, liking a post, or posting a pic. After a short tutorial, you should be ready to grab your phone and give one of our cool posts a "like" and if you think your friends would enjoy it, please share it on your Facebook page so they can enjoy it as well.
Speaking of Facebook, if you have ever been in our store and you have had a great experience such as someone on our team assisting you in choosing just the right color, cheering you on to finish a project, helping you understand directions in a difficult pattern or you've taken a fun class, it's always nice to have a positive review and a 5-star rating.
It makes other quilters aware of the fun, friendly, and helpful environment that we strive to create here at Arizona Quilts.
These things may seem small, but they really do help promote our business
to those who may not know about us.
Let me say again how much we appreciate your support over the last very difficult year. We look forward to continuing to provide a great environment 0f service, new exciting products, education, inspiration...and an environment where lasting friendships are cultivated,
We hope to see you soon!
Happy Quilting!
