The Chinook Book- you've heard of it, but have you ever really looked into what it's all about?
I wasn't sure what to write about today, then one of our gift buyers suggested that I take a closer look at this book and let our customers know how great it really is... and she was right, it's a fantastic resource!
The Chinook Book is a coupon book, resource directory and source for ideas and inspiration, jam-packed with deals from local companies. There are even maps of Mpls/St Paul neighborhoods, pointing out where you can use a coupon...
There are many considerations as to what companies are included: they are fair and good to their employees and
suppliers, they are usually locally owned, they give back to their
community, and they try to minimize their impact on the environment.
The book includes coupons for:
- farmer's market
- local grocery
- cooking
- dining
- entertainment
- wellness
- fashion & gifts
- travel & recreation
- grocery products
Why is it called the Chinook Book?
"We launched our very first book, called Chinook Book, in Portland, Oregon in 1999. The Chinook salmon is one of the most amazing species on the planet. Chinook jargon was the language of commerce used between Native Americans and early settlers throughout the West. This combination of environment and commerce is the essence of Chinook Book – and who we are as a company." -the Chinook Book Sept 2010 press release
