The holiday shopping season is in full swing, and our #GoodLandGoodShopping program is continuing to highlight an assortment of local businesses from all around the Goodland.

To promote www.GoodLandGoodShopping.com businesses, the City is highlighting each of our GoodLandGoodShopping vendors on our social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) through the holiday season. Each spotlight will include a great holiday gift idea from that business.

From restaurant to spas, markets and bazaars, there are plenty of options to choose from for your holiday shopping needs! As an incentive to visit the diverse group of merchants featured on the site, if you register to have an account on GoodLandGoodShopping.com by December 31st you will automatically be entered to win a $100 gift card to a #GoodlandGoodShopping vendor of your choice.

Time is running out for holiday shoppers to find gift ideas and holiday goodies. You can never go wrong by shopping local. Browse local business and services in the Goleta area here and have personalized gift cards emailed or texted to recipients from several dozen stores, services, and professional practices.

If you are a Goleta business and haven’t signed up to be a part of GoodLandGoodShopping.com, it’s not too late. All you need to do is go to https://www.goodlandgoodshopping.com/signup and follow the simple steps.
