Go Local connects businesses, community members

BY JUSTIN MCGUIRE For more than a decade, Go Local has been helping form connections in Asheville.

The card program connects independent businesses to customers looking for discounts, of course. But it also brings together businesses and local schools, and increasingly focuses on forging business-to-business ties and helping the broader community become more invested in Asheville schools.

And this year, Go Local is even connecting those natural enemies, dog people and cat people (more on that later).

“Our mission is to grow a resilient local economy and a thriving community,” says Sherree Lucas, Go Local executive director. “Most of these businesses are small, employing under 10, and they don’t necessarily have the time or resources to go out and form connections. So if we can help them do that, that to me is very aligned to our mission. We want to help the community connect to the local, independent businesses more and understand who these people are that are running our business community and making Asheville such a special place to live.”

For example, she says, one focus in recent years has been helping businesses identify local suppliers.

Go Local businesses are the first to be informed of networking opportunities and business-to-business offers within the program’s membership.

“When one of our businesses is making a decision on who to use for marketing, who to use for financial services, who to use for landscaping, where do they go?” Lucas asks.

“One of the places that we want them to go first is to Go Local because that just puts more money back into the local economy. From an education standpoint, we’re helping our community understand why it’s so important to try to hire local first.”

The program also uses its monthly newsletter and Facebook and Instagram pages to keep merchants informed about city and county gov-

HERE’S THE SCOOP: For Go Local month in February, Go Local teamed with Cooking with Comedy Catering and The Hop Handcrafted Ice Cream to create an ice cream flavor combining peach crumble and homemade salted caramel bits. Pictured from left are Sherree Lucas, Go Local executive director, Clarence Robinson, owner of Cooking with Comedy, and Ashley and Greg Garrison, owners of The Hop. Photo by Renee Hartwick ernment proposals and actions that will affect them.

“If local government has a survey on plastic-bag usage, on discounted downtown parking for service workers, or are building awareness in a mural project or Pack Square visioning project, Go Local includes it to our newsletter subscribers to help spread the word,” she says. “And we try to find ways to use social media to promote our businesses and hopefully help those businesses make connections back to the consumers who use social media.”

The Go Local card allows businesses to offer discounts and added value to cardholders. 25% of the money raised from selling the $20 card goes to Asheville City Schools, Asheville City Schools Foundation and Mountain City Public Montessori. Over 500 businesses are listed in the 2024 directory, a 10% increase over last year.

Go Local, through its online and business partner sales, sold 3,800 cards in 2023. In addition, the program gave 1,000 cards to schools to sell directly.

In all, the program has raised nearly $240,000 for schools since it started, Lucas says.

WHAT’S NEW? Each year, Go Local cards are adorned with the image of an ani-

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2024 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

mal mascot meant to represent an attribute of the Asheville business community. Past mascots have included an owl, a monarch butterfly, a dinosaur, a bear, a squirrel and a tortoise-and-hare pair.

This year, the mascot hits a little closer to home: The Dog & Cat Duo, courtesy once again of artist Jenny Greer Fares of Sound Mind Design.

Dogs and cats are cherished, loyal and show unconditional love, in addition to bringing joy and laughter — and that’s how Go Local feels about the local business community, Lucas says.

“Asheville is known as Dog City, but it’s actually Pet City,” she explains. “Not to slight turtles or hamsters, but it’s truly about dogs and cats around here.”

A self-professed dog person, Lucas says her initial plan was to go with just a cuddly canine for the mascot. “When you think about loyalty and unconditional love, you tend to think more towards dogs than cats.”

But a number of feline-loving friends and colleagues convinced her it made more sense to include both animals to form a connection — there’s that word again — between dog lovers and those who prefer cats.

The card this year also includes pictures of musical notes as a nod

to the vibrant Western North Carolina music scene and the spirit of collaboration that is at the heart of Go Local’s mission.

“Our pets look like they’re dancing around the heart with joy and abandon as they listen to their favorite bluegrass tunes,” Lucas says.

Also new this year is a revamped app that eventually will include some new features. First launched two years ago, the app allows users to search the Go Local directory by category, subcategory and “collection” (such as women-owned businesses). The app will automatically update for anyone who has already downloaded it, she says.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION Go Local continues its goal of promoting businesses owned by people of color, women and members of the LGBTQ community, Lucas says.

“There is no doubt in my mind that a community in general, and a business community in particular, thrives when it is diverse, equitable and inclusive. For Go Local, to support underserved and underrepresented businesses aligns with our mission,” Lucas says.

The program is collaborating with Blue Ridge Pride to cross-promote LGBTQ-owned and welcoming businesses and has added the nonprofit as a business partner.

“Go Local’s strategic insight and planning assistance for our Business Alliance has not only increased the number of our business partners — by 50 — but helped us identify that local business is where our most important work lies,” says Amy Upham, executive director of Blue Ridge Pride.

“From our work together building such a healthy ecosystem, we are now able to offer more to our Business Alliance partners.”

SURVEY SAYS ...

As in past years, Go Local sent out a survey to merchants who participate in the card program. This year, Lucas explains, the survey asked a new set of questions designed to get a better understanding of the business community.

“The surveys I had done [in the past] regarding how they felt about Go Local, the answers were pretty consistent year to year,” she says. “So I changed the survey [so that its answers would provide] the cardholders, the ones who get the directory, a little bit more information about this community of local, independent businesses.”

She found many of the answers to be enlightening and encouraging.

“I just continue to be in awe of this community,” Lucas says. “How they talked about why they started their own business, what they wish they knew then, what they like about being a business owner, all of that demonstrated grit, determination and a true love for the community.

That’s all part of the culture that, to me, inspires hope for and belief in the future of Asheville.”

Some highlights of the survey, which garnered 75 responses out of 500 queried businesses, include: • Half of merchants have owned their business for over 10 years.

• Locals make up the majority of their customers.

• 81% started their businesses from scratch.

• 55% are the sole proprietor.

• 45% were motivated to start their business because they saw an opportunity to help the community.

• 92% would start a new business again.

GO LOCAL SOCIAL MEDIA,

BY THE NUMBERS Go Local uses Facebook and Instagram to promote its mission and to connect cardholders to businesses, says Sherree Lucas, Go Local executive director.

FACEBOOK Site: avl.mx/apo Number of followers: 12,000 INSTAGRAM Site: avl.mx/app Number of followers: 4,395 Follower numbers as of November 2023

“It’s the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” one respondent wrote. Another added: “And even more so if I could do it with the knowledge I have now.”

When merchants were asked, “What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started?” some common themes emerged: • The time it takes for a business to grow, take shape and be profitable is longer than anticipated.

• It’s best to start small and simple, then work up from there.

• Staffing is so important (and hard).

Survey participants also were asked to identify their “No. 1 Worry” about owning an independent business in Asheville. The top answers were: • Sustainability/cost-of-living (paying living wages) for staff and for people who live here.

• Rent increases.

• Cash flow and a potential economic downturn.

Asked about their favorite part of owning a business, some of the answers were: • Being involved in and part of the community.

• Making a difference and having a positive impact.

• The people.

Business owners chose several words and phrases to describe what it’s like to own a business, including: hard, exhausting, all-consuming, challenging, frantic, lonely, freedom, demanding, rewarding, liberating, empowering, enlightening, creative, amazing and always interesting.

Connecting schools and the community

BY JUSTIN MCGUIRE When representatives from Isaac Dickson Elementary School sold Go Local cards at last year’s North Asheville Tailgate Market Holiday Bazaar, they did more than raise money for the school. They made a connection with people in their community.

“It was really interesting to talk with folks,” says Emma Drake, the school’s Go Local Parent-Teacher Organization coordinator. “Many don’t connect the Go Local card with the public schools. They’re really just buying [the card] because it has deals they appreciate. It was really nice for them to get to talk to some of our kids. That just made it so much more personal, and they got to learn a lot about the local public schools.”

That’s welcome news for Go Local officials, who decided to give schools a more active role in the card program last year in part to help forge such connections. Go Local donated 100 cards to each of the schools in the city school system, as well as the Asheville City Schools Foundation and Mountain City Public Montessori, to use as fundraising tools. At $20 a card, each school could raise up to $2,000, all of which it could keep. Additionally, each school got 25% of proceeds from cards sold through business partners.

That’s a change from previous years, when schools got 50% of all card sales but didn’t have the opportunity to sell cards themselves.

Sherree Lucas, Go Local executive director, says the change was designed to free up more cash from card sales to support local businesses and to support the schools by allowing the cards to reach more parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors.

“For the most part, this initiative was successful, based on feedback from the schools,” Lucas says.

“But we still have some work to do to see a greater impact across all the schools. I think next year, we’ll just continue to get better.”

EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE: Julian Drake, a third grader at Isaac Dickson Elementary School, helps sell Go Local cards at the North Asheville Tailgate Market Holiday Bazaar. Photo courtesy of Emma Drake Montford North Star Academy, which sold all 100 of its cards, was one success story. Many of its card sales came at the school PTO’s two annual plant sales, says April Roland, Montford’s Go Local card coordinator.

“We offered a discount at the plant sales, so it gave parents and community members an incentive to buy the cards there and get a discount on their plants,” she says.

Additionally, Roland says, the school makes the cards available during band concerts, parent-teacher conferences, open houses — pretty much anytime parents are in the building.

“We keep a sign on our front desk that says, ‘Go Local cards sold here,’” she explains. “And sometimes when parents are picking up their kids when they’re sick or have a doctor’s appointment, they’ll be like, ‘Oh, I want to get one of those here.’”

Selling the cards directly has helped give the school ownership in the Go Local program, she says.

“It gives you a sense of accomplishment, and you really want to try to push that to earn that money.

And then when you start seeing the checks come in, you’re like, ‘Oh, I’m doing a great thing here.’ And it makes you want to do it more.”

MOUNTAIN XPRESS / 2024 LOVE ASHEVILLE GO LOCAL DIRECTORY

Montford uses much of the money from Go Local to support its Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports system, which rewards students for making good choices.

“We have what we call our RISE expectations at school, which stands for respect, integrity, safety and excellence,” Roland says.

When a student exhibits one of those expectations, they are given a bracelet they can cash in for prizes, such as notebooks, pencils and fidget toys. Go Local money helps pay for those prizes, along with quarterly celebrations held to reward students who meet the RISE expectations.

Funds this year also were used to pay for the school’s staff retreat at The N.C. Arboretum.

At Isaac Dickson, Go Local funding went into the budget of the PTO, which spends money on support for teachers, including stipends to buy classroom materials, and the school’s outdoor learning program.

“Connecting the community with the local public schools is such a win-win on both sides,” Drake says.

“We’re giving the local community knowledge of what’s going on in the schools and supporting local businesses. It’s all very connected.”
