Each day, more consumers across the nation are opting to shop local. The surge in shopping local is growing as shoppers are realizing the benefits of keeping their dollars close to home rather than pumping money into national chains.

o help local shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for, enter Shopcrawlr. Established by Allison Barta Bailey, Shopcrawlr is the resource for consumers wanting to shop local. Bailey, an avid local shopper herself, visits shops and writes about her experiences as well as what shoppers can expect to find at each shop. She posts the information on Shopcrawlr, which then allows shoppers to select a specific item and their location to receive a list of shops that sell that product. The unique concept came to fruition soon after Bailey graduated from Oklahoma City University’s Meinders School of Business. While working in the oil and gas field, Bailey was constantly developing relationships with local shop owners outside of working hours. After a few years of working during the day and networking off the clock, she acted on her affinity for shopping local and ventured out on her own. A decision she’s happy with. “I’ve always enjoyed the flavor that local shops brought to my shopping experience,” she says. “In 2006, I started blogging about my favorite Oklahoma City shops, which eventually turned into Shopcrawlr.com. That experience, combined with my passion for thoughtful marketing led me to consulting.” Throughout her quest of highlighting local businesses, Bailey has learned some tips that can potentially help any local shop. In order to keep customers coming back, she suggests shop owners and their employees to be genuine with shoppers. She advises that eye contact and a smile can set a positive mood for a customer’s shopping experience. If there is one thing Bailey could change about local consumers, she

would want their perception of local shops’ assumed higher prices to change. “Shoppers tend to think that the products they buy from large, big box stores aren’t available at a local shop or, if they are available, that the product is more expensive,” she says. “That’s not always the case. And actually, the time and energy saved from shopping at a local shop will leave customers feeling better about their shopping
experience.” A better experience isn’t the only perk of shopping local. Bailey explains that there are many upsides to stopping into a locally-owned shop such as getting an expert opinion on products or even tips on a tasty local restaurant nearby. To give the local shopper a onestop shop for local retailers, Bailey recently hosted the Holiday Pop-Up
Shops shopping event at the Myriad Botanical Gardens. The four-session event was an opportunity for her to showcase some of her favorite holiday shopping destinations under one roof. Participating local business included Blue Seven, Pencil Shavings Studio, A Date with Iris & Urbane, Full Circle Bookstore and Sara Kate Studios. The event was such a hit Bailey says to not be surprised if the Pop-Up Shops event happens again – possibly even bragBOOK Magazine.com

expand in Oklahoma City — rather than placing national chain expansion As for the future of Oklahoma City, as a higher priority.” Bailey hopes shoppers will change their routine of celebrating the opening It’s that Oklahoma City character of a national chain to relying more on that Bailey most looks forward to local businesses. each day and it’s the expanding local shopping scene that makes living here “I fear that this focus on recruiting a privilege. national chains takes away from promoting our Oklahoma City-owned “I love the excitement and pride that businesses that have given Oklahoma business owners and citizens have City its character,” she says. “I hope for Oklahoma City,” she says. “For that we can pivot our focus and energy many people my age, we could live more toward our loyal local shops — anywhere and we choose to live in supporting them and helping them Oklahoma City.”
