Supporting Local Business Saturday: My Experience with My Sticker Vendor

Hi Local Guides,

American Express launched “Small Business Saturday” in the United States in 2010 as a way to help small businesses in the locality. I think this is a unique way to support local businesses and community development by recognising and supporting small businesses in the locality.

I thought I would contribute something to today’s special on “Support Small Business Saturday” after seeing my friend @Rahul001 post about it.

To take part in this event, I would like to highlight a local gem, M/s. Vijay Graphics in Pune. This small business has been my go-to source for all the stickers and cards needed for our local guides’ meetings this year. Whether it was for a last-minute event or a weekend meeting or meetings in New Delhi during our Local Guides conference in October of this year, they have consistently delivered on time while surpassing expectations in terms of quality and efficiency.

It is really admirable how committed they are to meeting my standards and quality, even when they have limited time. They handled my requests with professionalism and consideration, making sure I had everything ready well in advance, especially for meetings in New Delhi. I can still recall that.

Supporting small businesses like Vijay Graphics not only encourages community development but also strengthens the bonds that make our daily lives easier.

My review of his shop is here.

Let’s continue to support and celebrate local businesses that make a big difference.

We, local guides, with the help of Google Maps, do make a difference.

Cheers!

Nice find and great support for local small business @AjitThite
I am still struggling to find a reliable and affordable sticker and badge printer close to my home.
All designs are superb and collectible.
I think I have all of those :smile:

Yes, @TusharSuradkar , today I went to collect a few for @NareshDarji I ordered, similar to New Delhi meet-up, so it clicked to me that it is worth sharing here. Normally, we share our experiences with hotels, restaurants, and typical markets/shops. These businesses really support us in meet-ups. I think so.

Cheers!

You’re welcome. Anyone supporting small and/or local businesses is welcome to use the stickers or even share them within the community.

Agree @AjitThite
We are too confined to cafes, and restaurants when we think of small businesses.

Today I went to a milk parlor operated by a family, that is also a small business.

Dada @AjitThite ,For our local guide community, I also went to the my local market to have greeting cards and cards with accessibility information made. After the cards were printed, I felt that yes, I would go there if I wanted the cards printed. I got a really good idea from a kind man. local-business
