    Small Dog Electronics has come to Key West, and though we’re the “new dog in town” we’ve been around for almost 20 years as New England’s premier Apple Specialist. Since we took over at 1001 Truman Ave at the beginning of September, we’ve gotten to know many of you, and it we’re happy to report that it feels like home.

  • Happy Cyber Monday! In addition to the numerous Holiday deals we have going on, enjoy free shipping site-wide for today only…because who doesn’t…

  • I will be spending this Black Friday here at our Key West store and then packing up and heading back to Vermont on Saturday. It has been a good experience here helping to launch our latest store, and I am very confident that our new team of Taylor, Joe and Riane will make our southernmost store a big success.

    Once again, our very best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving!

    Thank you for your support and for reading this issue of Kibbles & Bytes!

    We’re thrilled to partner with the “*Vermont Foodbank,*”:http://www.vtfoodbank.org “*Manchester Animal Shelter,*”:http://www.manchesteranimalshelter.org and “*Florida Keys SPCA*”:http://www.fkspca.org to ensure that they do what they do best — help those in need. (And isn’t that what the holiday season is really all about?)

    We can’t think of a better way to spread the cheer this holiday season, and we hope you feel the same way. Shop at Small Dog, and give back to the community while also getting some great gifts for your friends and family.

  • _Dear Friends,_

    All of us here at Small Dog Electronics send our heartfelt wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours. We have come to know so many of you over the past couple of decades, and we truly value the relationship which allows us to communicate each week with you via our newsletters and of course, greet you in our stores on on the phone.

    Even down here in Key West, I have had numerous customers come into the store and tell me stories of when they bought their first Mac from us years ago. We are so thankful that we have made so many customers for life and pledge to continue to keep our focus on just that principle — making customers and friends for life!

    It is you, our customers, who provide the motivation for us to continue to build a different kind of business. Small Dog Electronics measures our success by the triple bottom line of people, planet and profit. We believe whenever our lives intersect with yours that we should both leave that encounter enhanced from the experience.

    While we know that we must have a sustainable business model to succeed, we also know that is the fuel that enables us to fulfill our corporate mission of making a difference. This holiday season we are giving 1% of our sales to selected charitable organizations as a small part of that ongoing commitment.
