For the third year, the Barton Marketing Group located in Park Ridge purchases its holiday client gifts in the Shop Local tradition. Using Rocky Mountain Chocolate, Lisa’s Italian Ice & Popcorn, and TeaLula teas, festive gift baskets were put together and shipped or delivered to BMG clients throughout the Midwest.
Barton was Chamber President in 2006 and helped create a community-wide Shop Local campaign originally started by a single store owner. “At BMG, my partner Alexander and I always try to purchase goods and services locally even company cars. Our clients love the Taste of Park Ridge baskets and give rave reviews.”
"I love how four Chamber members worked together to cross market and assist each other this holiday season!" exclaimed Gail Haller, executive director, Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce.
