Toronto Events and Festivals for Next Week + Thanksgiving (Oct 7-Oct 14)
Hey friends!
I hope you're having an amazing weekend! Just a kind reminder that fall is coming, and we just wrote an inspiration blog on where to find all the awesome scenery for fall red leaves, including Algonquin and Toronto parks!
Looking to elevate your brand with a custom hat?
Don’t make it just any hat. Make it a Branded Bills hat.
Why? They make quality merch (especially hats) that people actually want to wear.
Don’t just take it from us, here is what one of their recent clients has to say:
“I think Branded Bills is memorable because it is more of a lifestyle brand for us. It’s not just employees wearing them to work or technicians wearing them out in the field; they're wearing them to bowling alleys, sporting events, etc, and they’re repping our brand which is exactly what we want.” Rebecca Ferguson, Empire CAT
Want some more? Get $200 off your first order over $1000 with the code NEWSLETTER.
If this is what you want (and we’re guessing you do), hit up Branded Bills.
Anyway, here are what you can do next Monday (10/7) to Sunday (10/14)! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ Missed out? Catch up with our previous newsletter here.
