Colour Friday Event November 2024

2 Comments

This November, The Curious Gem is excited to support the Colour Friday movement -
the bright alternative to Black Friday!

COLOUR FRIDAY     THINK BIG     SHOP INDEPENDENT

What's it all about?

Colour Friday, the vibrant alternative to Black Friday, is an annual event, taking place on November 29th this year, which encourages people to buy their gifts from small independent businesses rather than faceless retail giants. Founded by entrepreneur and small business champion Holly Tucker, Colour Friday was born out of a desire to shift the focus away from the frenzy of Black Friday sales, which tend to benefit big corporations, and instead highlight the creativity, craftsmanship, and colour of independent businesses.

How are we getting involved?

At The Curious Gem we are proud to be an independent business and believe in the power of shopping independent. We know that your work can be more than just a business—it’s a craft, a passion, and a reflection of your unique vision. That's why this November we're shining the spotlight on independent makers like yourself.

This month we will be helping you prepare for the holiday season with an exciting array of promotions, discounts and unique events! You won't hear us talking about Black Friday, we will be shouting from the rooftops about all things independent, making sure you are ready for your own Colour Friday! 

 

Spread the word, use the hashtags and shop independent.

I really like this idea and am glad to know that The Curious Gem is a participant! But if I need anything more for making earring pairs for Xmas, late November is far too late for me, as Swedish customs and mail is extra sluggish from mid-November on. So I will continue as a sporadic (~ twice yearly) happy returning customer, shopping when I need!
