Why Be Loyal 2 Local?
Local businesses have a positive impact that ripples through our communities.
Our small business community:
Positively impacts our local economy through tax revenue. Supporting infrastructure, schools, police and fire departments, and other government-funded agencies.
Creates new jobs in a wider variety of businesses. When small businesses thrive, more businesses pop up, creating a broader category of shops, restaurants, and professional service businesses.
Offer the same products and sometimes the same brands many larger retailers carry as well as supporting local artists and artisans to offer one-of-a-kind products.
Provide a gathering place for friends and families for good food and drink, and live entertainment venues that support local musicians and performers.
Offer personalized service, attention, and expertise, giving you a pleasurable buying experience.
Supports numerous fundraising efforts & events in our community.
Creates a vibrant atmosphere, attracting people to visit or move to our community.
Did you know that for every $100 spent locally, $68 stays local?
When you shop local, your decision helps our local business economy thrive. On average, that $68 cycles through the local economy 7 times before leaving.
But it isn’t all about the money - small business employs 9,600 people in our area - those are your family members, neighbors, and friends.
We encourage you to shop local whenever possible.
Remind your friends and family you choose to be loyal to local when setting a coffee or shopping date.
Tell your favorite businesses you appreciate their commitment to the Loyal 2 Local program.
Support the businesses in the community that support the organizations in the community.
Together, we can make an impact and build a healthier, more connected community.
