Seller Quotes Needed for Black Friday News Pitching!

[aubsalmanza]

Hi lovely Square sellers! 

I’m a member of Square’s Communications team, and in the lead-up to our Black Friday/Cyber Monday pitching – for which we’ll be reaching out to local news outlets – we’d like to include seller quotes from the following key cities: Miami, Chicago, Dallas, Portland, Seattle, LA, SF, Atlanta.

If you’re interested in being featured, please respond with a quote of approximately 3 sentences responding to one of the following prompts: 

1. What does it mean for your neighborhood when people choose to shop local during Black Friday weekend?
2. How do Block's tools - Square for your operations and Cash App Card or Cash App Pay for customers - help you compete during the biggest shopping weekend of the year?
3. What hurdles/challenges are you overcoming this Black Friday? 

If you could please include your city, title, and business name, that would be fantastic! We will need these by EOD Wednesday, Nov 19th ET. 

Thank you so much for your support. Looking forward to earning some great coverage together!

For reference, a quote example would take the form of:

"In the face of mounting cost pressures, shoppers are making a conscious decision to invest in and support our local community. It means everything to our business to know that during this important weekend, our neighborhood is going to choose us first."
