MainStreet Libertyville Joins Retail Minded’s Partner Program

January 5, 2015 (Parker, CO) – MainStreet Libertyville and Retail Minded Magazine have announced their partnership in an effort to better support the independent businesses and retailers within the MainStreet Libertyville organization.

Delivered up to eight times a year, the MainStreet Libertyville will introduce Retail Minded Magazine and other educational resources provided by Retail Minded to their members throughout the year. Each issue of Retail Minded Magazine will be co-branded with the MainStreet Libertyville logo to further support their efforts in providing their members educational value, while also providing the MainStreet Libertyville a chance to deliver quality, relevant, industry-specific news and support for their businesses.

“We are always thrilled to welcome new partner groups to the Retail Minded Partner Program, but MainStreet Libertyville is particularly exciting for me because this is the town I grew up in,” shared Retail Minded’s Founder and Publisher Nicole Leinbach Reyhle. “The township of Libertyville, Ilinois has a beautiful Main Street area and fantastic independent stores, restaurants and many other small businesses throughout their entire community. I am thrilled that we can help support the MainStreet Libertyville group through our partnership, and I look forward to working with them in the year ahead,” Reyhle further explained.

Expanding on this is Andy Lausch, a MainStreet Libertyville Board Member.

One of the goals of MainStreet Libertyville is to ensure economic stability in the heart of our town through education, design, promotion, organization, and economic revitalization activities.  One way we accomplish this is by providing our business members with relevant news, education and support specific to small and independent merchants.   As such, we’re excited to work with Retail Minded in 2015 to help us bring topical business insights to our business members. Having a vibrant downtown is critical to our community… our residents, our businesses, and our government… and a vibrant downtown cannot exist without successful, smart, well-educated  businesses, all of whom play a key role in making this a great place to live, work and play. We hope that our merchants will each grab a few ‘nuggets of wisdom’ from Retail Minded to help them make their businesses even more successful in the new year,” shared Lausch.

MainStreet Libertyville is an affiliate of the Illinois Main Street program as well as the National Main Street program. It was founded over 25 years ago and is a Great American Main Street Award Winner.

Retail Minded’s Partner Program was designed to further support associations and other retail focused groups in helping their members gain trusted and valued retail news, education and support.
