#DexterFirst Christmas Giveaway Begins Saturday!
Dexter, Missouri - More than 30 businesses will participate in #DexterFirst this year. County Wide Insurance, the Dexter Tourism Committee, the ShowMe Times, and the Dexter Chamber of Commerce are working together to sponsor the 2018 Christmas Holiday #DexterFirst shop local campaign.
Before you travel to larger cities or order online think Dexter First! You aren't just purchasing a product, but supporting your community, creating local jobs, and investing in local people!
In this new age of online purchasing and big shopping malls, we often fail to see the benefit of shopping locally and supporting our local merchants.
Our local business and civic leaders selflessly donate endless time, energy, and resources to promote this sense of home-town pride.
Dexter has a diverse sampling of locally-owned businesses.
Using social media, we are asking that the members of our community Share, Like and Review our local participating businesses by snapping a photo of popular, interesting, or unique items that you find in our local shops. Post these to social media using
https://www.dexterfirst.com to help generate interest in what our merchants have to offer. Help our merchants with your posts, and we will help you find yourself a bit richer for your local holiday shopping.
#DexterFirst is simply an effort to give your local retailers the FIRST opportunity to provide you with the gifts and merchandise you may be purchasing during the 2018 Christmas Holiday Season. Shop in Dexter first before you head out-of-town or peruse the internet.
The #DexterFirst Contest will begin on November 17, 2018 and end on December 20, 2018. During this period, we ask that you visit local merchants, snap a selfie and give a brief description of the items you found in the local participating merchants’ shops. Be sure to hashtag each post with #DexterFirst and post to
http://www.dexterfirst.com to so that you can then be entered into a weekly drawing for $250 in cash and gift certificates. One winning name will be selected on November 23rd, November 30th, December 7th, December 14th and then on December 21st a grand prize of $500 will be given to one lucky person.
