The Tin Thimble has been nominated for the 2016 KCRA A-List and we need your help to get to the top!
We’re so grateful to have this tangible proof that our efforts are appreciated. It’s wonderful to have been nominated. Thank you.
What is the A-list you ask? KCRA (yes, the news channel) puts together a list of hundreds of businesses, everything from mechanics to restaurants to antique stores, and the local community votes on their favorites. Those of us who who place well are deemed “A-list”ers and can tout our excellent customer service, distinct merchandise, or whatever it is that makes our customers so happy.
Why is a contest like this important to us? Well, being a small business can be tricky. Customer and community based contests, like this one, provide us with an opportunity to reach hundreds of new people without having to spend our hard earned money on advertising campaigns. The A-list is a fantastic way for us to introduce an entirely new group of people to the art of felting, or on how to use their sewing machine, or to where they can find handmade gifts. It also allows us to get feedback from all of our current customers, students and fans, whether it’s things you think we’re doing well, or if there are areas where we can improve!
