On this two-part episode of the Perfect Cents Podcast, Savannah Brown and Alex Becerra welcome Susan Stewart, business owner at Strapping Store and Licked Ice Cream in Sacramento, as well as Shannon Robb, VP of Strategic Partnerships at ChooseFolsom. Together they discuss the importance of supporting local businesses, the impact on our region’s economy, and how small businesses contribute to the enrichment of our community. They also share unique ideas for gift-giving and sharing fun experiences with loved ones during the holiday season. Finally, they shout out a few of their own favorite businesses in and around the Greater Sacramento region… Because shopping local on small business Saturday and all throughout the year just makes Perfect Cents!
