The Peoria Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (PACVB) encourages residents to support local retailers on Thursday, April 2 for "Retail Therapy Thursday".
During "Retail Therapy Thursday", people are encouraged to shop online or call in orders where available to show support for the struggling retail community. COVID-19 is currently posing a major threat to the retail business as the "shelterin place" mandate continues through April 7.
To participate in "Retail Therapy Thursday", residents are being asked to:
-
Post on social media in advance of the event, encouraging friends and followers to take part in #retailtherapythursday.
-
Engage friends, family and colleagues to support their local retailers by shopping online or calling in orders where available.
-
Sharing photos or your order confirmation on social media tagged with #retailtherapythursday.
