Business Solutions for Spring 2021

Everything you need could be in your own backyard. In other words, our local communities offer many resources for your business to access and your family to enjoy. Madison Communications encourages you to “buy local” whenever possible, especially during these challenging times. We begin this Spring ’21 issue of Business Solutions on page 3 with The Buy Local Loop . This is a great reminder of the positive chain reaction that happens when you support local businesses. Get ready for some elephant-size fun with the Business Spotlight on the Pink Elephant Antique Mall and Twistee Treat Diner on pages 4 and 5. As residents of this area, we’re lucky to have such a unique and nostalgic place to visit that’s right down the road yet decades in the past. Go for the antiques; stay for the burgers and ice cream. On page 6, learn to Grow with the Times to Grow Your Business , including taking advantage of business resources in your own backyard. Then on page 7, review the Business Benefits of Giving Back , which shares how donating time and money to your local community is not only good for the community, but good for your busi- ness as well. You don’t have to go far to get advanced communications solutions. Contact us at Madison Communications for neighborly assistance.
