Small Businesses have taken a hit this year due to COVID and Effingham County CEO wanted to do something to help combat that. We don't know if shopping locally is something you ever do, but if there was ever a time to do it, it's certainly now. This year's Effingham County CEO class is selling gift boxes full of only Effingham County goods and services. Effingham County is a community full of entrepreneurs and small businesses that many have never even heard of, so we really wanted to highlight them! These Boxes would make the perfect gift for that loved one that you maybe aren't quite sure what to get! We are selling 3 different themed boxes: The Good Vibes Box (Perfect for the loved one you think needs a day off for some relaxation), The Grill Masters Box (Perfect for the man or woman in your life that wants the best grilling skills/taste in all of Effingham County), and The Night In Box (perfect for that family or person who just needs some relaxed fun and personal time)! Our Boxes will go on sale this Friday, November 20th @ 3:00 p.m. on the website that will be located in our Facebook and Instagram page bios (for both just search Effingham County CEO). The box's products will not be directly revealed, because we want some of it to be a surprise, but the businesses contributing to the box will be disclosed in the description. The boxes are all priced at $60, and 20% of the profits will be going to a local charity! On our website, it will give you the option to pick up or have it shipped. We recommend pickup, which will be the weekend of December 12th in Effingham (more exact details to come soon). Our Boxes will be sold in limited quantities so please act fast if this is something you are interested in! There will also be a live interview with us on the drive home today (Wednesday, November 18th) @ 4:30 if you'd like to listen for any additional information! We hope this encourages you to support your local shops, because shopping locally for Christmas is something more of us should do! Feel free to please forward this text and flyer to any friends, family, etc that you think would be interested! These boxes are a one time opportunity! Happy Holidays!
