Small Dog Electronics + Vermont Tax Holiday in the News!

The 2008 Vermont tax holiday has provided Small Dog Electronics with a very busy weekend. This hasn’t escaped notice of our local media:

From WCAX:

“You had to wait in line at Small Dog Electronics, but saving six percent — plus South Burlington’s one-cent local option tax on top of that — made it worthwhile for business owners, as well as consumers. “What it does is help build Vermont businesses by stimulating the type of sales we’re seeing here. And we’re seeing this all over the state. Furniture stores and, you know, Home Depot and mom and pop stores, they’re all having great sales this weekend,” said Don Mayer, Small Dog Electronics CEO.”

From the Burlington Free Press:

SOUTH BURLINGTON — Amie Wilson and Matt Bryce of Essex Junction joined a long line of shoppers at Small Dog Electronics on Saturday morning, inching their way toward the checkout with the iMac desktop computer they were buying.

They didn’t mind the wait. This was a purchase they’d long been contemplating and they would be saving almost $90 by buying this weekend during the state’s two-day sales-tax holiday.”

  • VT Tax Holiday Is This Saturday, March 6!

    Vermont is having a sales tax holiday this Saturday, March 6! There will be no sales tax on items that cost $2,000 or less. This could save you some serious dough if you’re upgrading your own computer, your family’s Macs, or just want to grab some fun gadgets. The savings can add up, as sales tax in Vermont is 6%, and even 7% in a couple of towns (South Burlington, Williston).

    We’re celebrating with a 24-hour sales event at our South Burlington retail store. The store will open at 12:01 AM and close at 11:59 PM. Our Waitsfield store will be open with regular business hours on Saturday, we’ll have additional telephone coverage, and our warehouse will be busy packing orders all day.

    We’ll be posting semi-delirious midnight tweets and Facebook updates from our Burlington store all night long. Follow us on Twitter as hellosmalldog or friend us on Facebook
