Bear Skins Custom Ink
and
Jackalope Trading Company
are you asking you join them and other San Juan County businesses in a collaborative campaign. There is no cost for your business to join, except a little creativity in a shirt design (which is simple with
Bear Skin's design studio
). Then for every shirt that sells you make $10. It helps your business, and it keeps the presses going at Bear Skin. For your local customers businesses have even collaborated on pick up locations to avoid shipping and handling costs.
