Keep It Local - Support Franklin Businesses
Keep an eye open for the new Keep It Local signs in the windows and on the doors of many Franklin businesses. The Franklin Downtown Partnership (FDP) has been distributing the signs to remind people of the importance of continuing to support our local establishments who have been hit so hard by the pandemic. Residents and businesses are invited to take photos with the signs and post them on Facebook and Instagram. Tag the FDP on those posts and the FDP will share them on its social media.
"We need to keep the focus on our local businesses, not only during the holiday season, but throughout the winter,” said FDP Executive Director Lisa Piana. “The Partnership reminds members of the community to spend locally whenever possible.“
If you would like to support local Franklin businesses, join the FDP as a resident member for only $25 a year. Visit the FDP website or email downtown.franklin@yahoo.com for more information.
The FDP is a non-profit 501©3 organization made up of nearly 300 residents, business owners and community leaders working to revitalize downtown Franklin. The Partnership manages events like the Strawberry Stroll and the Harvest Festival, and initiatives such as beautification, streetscape design, greenspace, alley murals, and sculpture projects.

Stephen Melanson, the corporate branding specialist, has announced a two-session workshop for job-seekers.
Dec 10 and 17 - 1-2:00 PM ET
If
you're looking for your next professional role, you have to break away
from the pack and be clear about your value. And if it's not simple
enough, it won't work as well as you need.
Why would an employer
be crazy to not hire you? Do you know? Can you verbalize it in about 5
seconds, or describe it in a few words?
In this two-session package, we'll cover:
- The rules for 'Simplicity' as a business tool
- What 'Verbal Branding' is, and how to use it
- How to differentiate and not commoditize yourself
- Building a strategy for job seeking that works
- Viewing the effort to sell yourself
- How to be more effective in less time
- The scary, critical truth about being memorable
- Confidence and a little courage
TESTIMONIAL
QUOTE: Conference Speaker for Top 5 Asset Management firm worldwide:
Annual Summit, 2019 "Yours was the only session to get a perfect score
from the audience."
NOTE: There are no refunds for this package. Please be sure you can attend before signing up.
