What an incredible finish to 2025 with our TradeFirst community. December is always a big month for local businesses, and this year our members truly showed what it means to put trade in action—filling calendars, moving inventory, and saying “yes” to new opportunities right through the holiday rush.
From holiday gifts and seasonal services to year-end projects and employee appreciation, TradeFirst members found creative ways to use TradeDollars instead of cash and keep their businesses growing. Restaurants, salons, retailers, contractors, and professional service providers all tapped into the network to attract new customers, strengthen relationships, and make the most of every open slot and shelf.
Thank you to every member, vendor, and local business owner who partnered with TradeFirst throughout 2025. Your support, referrals, and daily participation are what make this community so strong, and they are the reason small businesses across Michigan, Ohio, and Florida continue to thrive—especially during the busiest time of the year.
Here’s to carrying that momentum into 2026 with even more connection, collaboration, and commerce. We cannot wait to see how you use trade to start the new year strong, grow your business, and keep supporting fellow local entrepreneurs.
