The Why of it!
Hello, my name is Kathleen Ballos, owner of Ballos Associates Web Design and Email Marketing. I have been a business owner in Townsend since 1987. At heart, I have always been an entrepreneur and have always had a desire to help other entrepreneurs succeed. I am also a Townsend resident and feel that, as residents, we have an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in supporting our local economy and strengthening our community bonds.
Introducing Townsend ~ Just Townies!
This website is your one-stop destination to connect with the heartbeat of our town: our local businesses. I firmly believe that fostering a strong relationship between our community and the businesses that call our town home is essential for our town’s growth and prosperity.
Here’s why it’s crucial to get involved:
Boost the Local Economy: By choosing to shop, dine, and engage with local businesses, you contribute directly to our town’s economic vitality. These businesses provide jobs, generate revenue, and contribute to our tax base, which, in turn, supports local schools, infrastructure, and community services.
Preserve Small Town Charm: Small businesses are the lifeblood of our community, offering unique products and services you won’t find anywhere else. They help maintain the character and charm that makes our town so special. By supporting them, you help keep our small-town spirit alive.
Strengthen Community Bonds: Building a strong connection between residents and local businesses fosters a sense of belonging and unity. When you know the faces behind the storefronts and the stories behind the products, it builds trust and camaraderie within our community.
Enhance Quality of Life: Access to a variety of local businesses enriches our daily lives. From cozy cafes to family-owned boutiques and service providers, they all contribute to a higher quality of life for us and our future generations.
By visiting this site, you can explore a comprehensive directory of our local businesses, discover special promotions and events, and read about the people who run these establishments.
Let’s come together to support our local businesses, strengthen our community, and secure a bright future for our beautiful Townsend!
Thank you for being an essential part of our small town’s growth and prosperity.
Warm regards,
Kathleen
