I CHOOSE TO SHOP LOCALLY: WE CAN BUILD GREAT THINGS ONE STEP AT A TIME

On the other hand, if the residents in your region increase their shopping for products and services locally, the demand for these will increase considerably, thereby creating expansion projects, increased investments in new businesses, and more direct and indirect job opportunities. The markets must balance sales and profits with service and satisfaction. Local businesses can offer service and satisfaction while ensuring their profit margins provided we respond to their offers. Those who are earning money locally are also part of the people spending locally. The more our money is spent locally, the better off we will all be!

Shopping locally benefits the entire community. An economically healthy region offers more diversified products and services, provides employment and ensures a better quality of life for your family.

If overnight everyone in your community decided to do all of their shopping outside your region, what would happen to your local economy?

Often, losing just a few dozen customers is enough for a restaurant to close down. For every $100,000 spent elsewhere, one local job is lost. By shopping

systematically, without always really saving any money, the ties that used to bind us to our local carpenter, our baker, or our barber are now broken.
