Shop Local Ten reasons to shop locally

(Source: Buy Local First Utah)

1. You kept your money in our economy. Studies show that for every dollar spent in a locally owned business, three times more of that dollar stays in our economy than would be the case with a national retailer.

5. You benefited from our passion and expertise. As your friends and neighbors, we have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. We’re passionate and knowledgable about what we do - why not take advantage of it?

2. You embraced the character of our community. We wouldn’t want our houses to look like everyone else’s. So why would we want our community to look that way?

6. You kept your tax dollars here. Spending locally instead of online ensures that your tax dollars are reinvested where they belong - right here in our community!

3. You created local jobs. Local businesses are far better than chains or giant online retailers at creating more jobs per consumer dollars spent.

7. You encouraged innovation and product diversity. Whether brick and mortar retail or local online, service providers or manufacturers, local business innovators ensure marketplace diversity - important in any economy.

4. You helped the environment. You conserved energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging. Walkable business districts reduce sprawl and automobile use.

HUGE Selection of baseball & softball equipment. We have the

8. You loved your neighbors. We know you and you know us. Locally owned businesses link us together in a web of social and economic relationships. Studies show that locals donate to community causes at twice the rate of chains. 9. You kept the American dream alive. You nurtured entrepreneurship, which fuels prosperity by serving as a means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. This is the foundation of our American economy. 10. You made us a destination. The more interesting and unique we are as a community, the more we will attract new neighbors and visitors. This benefits everyone!
