SHOP LOCAL

WHY SHOP LOCAL? Why “buy” into the movement? Consider the following three reasons:

“B

uy Local” stickers and campaigns are everywhere. You can find them in the corners of shop windows and on decals on people’s vehicles. A community’s local businesses give that region character and are filled with history and tradition. because of money flowing out in the direction of big box stores and online retailers. In fact, according to the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics, shopping locally generates 70 percent more local economic activity per square foot than their big box store counterparts.

INJECTING MONEY INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY When you purchase items from a locally owned business, more money stays in the community.

In fact, for every $100 spent at a locally owned business $43 remains in the economy, with non-locally owned businesses

only $13 remain. It is this circulation of money that is crucial to a community’s success. Many “ghost towns” — once thriving communities that have shut down or are well on their way — came to their fate not because of too little money being made but

SUPPORT LOCAL FAMILIES According to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, 67 percent of America’s jobs come from small businesses. By spending your money in local shops, you are supporting the people and families that live in your community. Your dollars are doing more than getting you the items that you need; they also are helping others in the community get the things they need. Your hard-earned money is being put into local banks and eventually being borrowed to purchase local houses. While the sticker price may be a little higher at times than you would

find in big box stores, you are guaranteed that your dollar is doing more work for your community.

QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE You are much more likely to get great customer service at a local shop than at a large chain retailer. Local shops don’t normally apply sales quotas to their employees and depend on consistent customer service to turn a profit.

Local shops also are deeply invested in your experience because they rely on your repeat business and word of mouth.

Owners must live and work in the same community you do, and they will hear about negative feelings about your visit or their product. Plus, if you have any questions, you will be guaranteed to talk to an actual person (in the shop) rather than a recording or a customer service associate who might be in another country.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

he chamber of commerce is the heart of any thriving business community and Flagstaff is no exception. The Greater Flagstaff Chamber works to convene educational seminars for small businesses to manage more effectively; promotes and maintains a highly visible Shop Local campaign along with an educational component that keeps consumers aware of just how vital shopping local is to the character and well being of our community;convenes local business meetings that provide a perfect venue for exposure before dozens of businesses within a short time frame; hosts SCORE and SBDC private mentors and counselors who can help private business develop their next phase; and of course, the local Greater Flagstaff Chamber provides affordable promotion and a referral system that is both face-to-face and digitally driven.

Driving more customers to local business is a main focus through a vibrant and focused Chamber social media campaign and through distribution of your brochures in our local visitors services lobby. In addition, the Greater Flagstaff Chamber provides an in-depth print and digital directory of member businesses which is a huge go-to business/community resource.

you need look no further than the Chamber for an up-todate listing of local events.

Building a reliable network of business colleagues is important to running a successful local business and that need is at the center point of the Chamber’s work. They work hard for you while you are working and you can rely on value to your business that only Chambers can deliver. Developing your network with your local chamber’s business members is a great way to become more invested in your community.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY The local chamber should

have a business directory that includes member businesses.

A study by the Shapiro Group (2012) revealed that consumers are more likely to shop at a member business over and non-member business because they are perceived to be more trustworthy and involved in their communities. A listing here is of BIG benefit to local businesses. Most chambers represent a large portion of the business community, so pick up a directory or peruse the list on your chamber’s website. There might be a few — or several — businesses you may not even recognize! This is a great way to expand your list of favorite

Locally Owned & Operated 2017

CALENDAR OF EVENTS Your chamber of commerce also is likely to keep an updated calendar of local events.

This calendar should not only have events such as new ribbon cuttings but celebrate businesses and spotlight a different company on a regular basis. This is a great way to explore new parts of your town or areas you don’t get to often.

By attending a new shop or restaurant’s ribbon cutting, or visiting a business that has been spotlighted, you might discover another shop that is right next door or across the street. Getting out into your community and shopping local is invaluable in supporting the local economy.

BECOME A MEMBER Run a business? Thinking about starting one up?

Consider becoming a member of your local chamber. Most chambers have several levels of membership investment, including business memberships and individual memberships. This is a great way to hear first about new businesses that are thinking of starting up in the area and gaining networking access with current business leaders and community decision makers.

FIND THE PERFECT GIFT

W

atching someone open a gift you’ve given them is a special kind of joy.

Shopping for that gift, however, is another matter. Often, there is a high stress level associated with purchasing items for other people.

There is always the risk of buying someone something they already own or purchasing the same gift as someone else. Shopping locally could be the answer to these problems.

Support Local Artisans You will likely find many items in local shops that you won’t find in big box stores.

Small and locally owned businesses often pride themselves on discovering and supporting local artisans and displaying their wares to the community. Added bonus: By purchasing these items, you are helping to keep your community unique. Supporting these businesses ensures they will stick around for as long as they can.

Find Something Special Local shops are frequently the best place to find “one-ofa-kind” items, which can restore the “fun” in shopping for a gift.

This includes art.

10

Locally Owned & Operated 2017

Small local businesses are known for supporting the arts community by allowing artist to display works on their walls and often selling through their stores. Your money could help keep the dream alive for a talented local artist.

Know The Story Small shops are also highly invested in their success and care deeply about the products and items they sell. Because of this, you are likely to get the story behind the product.

You can ask where something was sourced or how it was made, and you will most likely get a thorough answer. While big box stores must buy in bulk so they can stock multiple stores, small shops only need to stock one space.

This means they can take their time and purposefully purchase their inventory. Frequently this leads to forging relationships with their suppliers — often local tradesmen who also can introduce shop owners to new suppliers or craftsmen who are just starting to sell their wares.
