One simple way to Support Local Businesses is to Shop Locally.
Did you know for every $100 spent in independently
owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and
other expenditures? If you spend $100 in a national chain, only $43
stays in the city. Wow! Of course if you spend online then zero dollars
comes home.
Thanks to the data provided by www.civiceconomics.com, I’ve decided to shop locally for all my holiday gifts this year. How about you?
