Support Local EconomiesFor every $100 you spend at a local indie business, $52 will stay in the community. |
Invest in Entrepreneurship Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community |
Embrace Enthusiasm and Expertise Local retailers are your friends and neighbors. They have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you, and they’re absolutely passionate about what they do. Take advantage of it. |
Foster Uniqueness You wouldn’t want your house to look like everyone else’s. Why would you want your community to look that way? More diversity in your community enhances its appeal. |
Conserve Tax Dollars Buying local means less infrastructure and more money to beautify your community. Buying local instead of online ensures that sales taxes are reinvested where they belong: in your community. |
Create Local Jobs Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for our neighbors. |
Create More Choice Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because they buy for their own market: the people in their community. They know you and know what you like and want. |
Reduce Environmental Impact Buying from a local business conserves energy and resources (less fuel for transportation and less packaging) and you know the products are safe and well made because your local retailers stand behind them. |
Make Our Community a Destination The more interesting and unique a community, the more it will attract new neighbors, visitors, and guests. This benefits everyone. |
Nurture Community Besides the pleasure of knowing your local retailers, studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains. |
