The Greater Lowell Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the City of Lowell’s Economic Development Office, Lowell TeleMedia Center (LTC), the Lowell Plan, EforAll and the Entrepreneurship Center at CTI is thrilled to launch the Lowell Shopping Network!
2020 has been a trying year for us all but we know that TOGETHER we can make a huge difference in our community by shopping local and that’s why we want YOU to join us by being a part of the Lowell Shopping Network (#LowellShoppingNetwork)!
LSN consists of three things:
- The Lowell Shopping Network EVENT on November 21st and 22nd (and perhaps more to come!)
- The LSN Facebook Group
- A Social Media movement
Lowell Shopping Network Event
Throughout December, Lowell TeleMedia Center (LTC) will be airing two-minute videos created by Lowell businesses (and edited by LTC) on channels 8 and 95 and on Facebook.
What businesses need to know:
- This is open to ALL businesses in Lowell regardless of industry or size (granted, you want to have a product you can sell to consumers).
- If you wish to submit a new video, please uploaded video and your information here. If you need assistance with the form or recording a new video, please contact DoBizInLowell@LowellMA.Gov to schedule an appointment with the City of Lowell’s ED staff.
