Special Section
What the heck does “Special Section” mean? Well, it means that these businesses paid a small (like, pretty darn small) fee to be included. THE FAMILY GROOVE strives to support mom-and-pop businesses by giving them a venue for their super-cool sites, ideas and products—and, quite honestly, we strive to pay our bills, too. So we’ve taken seven articles a month (out of 25-plus) and made them fun and exciting ways to promote the next best thing, much like in the way a publicist would. We believe in the companies we feature. We research, vet, scrutinize, analyze and obsess over every single solitary company that is included in this section to bring you the grooviest of the groovy. We’re all in this brave new world together, right? And so we’ve got to support each other in any and every way we can. We hope you dig our finds as much as we do.
