Why Support Local
The reason so many people are supporting locally is simple: it works. Studies have shown the benefits of shopping with locally owned businesses instead of their chain-store competitors. Local shops typically invest back into the community by using local vendors, employing local people and keeping their profits close to home instead of shipping them to an out-of-town headquarters.It also results in revenue that supports the services and infrastructure in our own City. If you shop locally in your home town instead of traveling elsewhere to spend your money, you are not just supporting our businesses, you are supporting your local hometown. You Are Thanking Your Local Shops for Supporting the Local Community Liberty to Ramseur small businesses owners donate to most of the events that happen through the year here in your hometown– whether it’s a local church bazaar, one or more than one of our signature events, or a 5k run to raise money for a worthy cause – most of our businesses, open their cash drawers and checkbooks to help, with enthusiasm, knowing they are helping their community. Pure Enjoyment Another reason to shop locally is for the fun of it. The gift shops, coffee shops, museum shops and even the restaurants have unique gifts with a local flavor. And if you’re unhappy with the lack of service at many of the big, national chain stores, you may be pleasantly surprised at the personal attention you get by shopping with small businesses.

Stress Free This year why not be un- stressed, un-frenzied, or lacking road-rage by supporting local. Trade in the hustle and bustle of over-packed malls for a relaxing stroll through your favorite downtown business, visit your hometown streets from Liberty to Ramseur. The benefits of slowing things down over this year can improve your health, well-being and overall mood, especially when schedules are at their fullest. The less time you spend traveling great distances and drudging through hordes of shoppers, the more time you will be able to enjoy with your family around the fireplace. So maybe it’s time to focus less on leaving the area, and take advantage of the calming convenience of shopping local. Now That The Holiday Season Is Over what about the rest of the year? Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays and anniversaries are perfect occasions to give a gift or gift certificate from a local business or restaurant.
