Why?
Promote independent bookstores?
Locally owned, independent businesses are the grassroots of
America. Unfortunately, these
businesses are disappearing, replaced by chain stores and business
conglomerates.
Are you really saving money by driving 10 miles away to save
10%?
When
you buy local, you are contributing to your community.
Emerging research suggests that
locally owned businesses contribute more to our local economy than do national
or international corporations.
Current statistics show that for every dollar spent at an independent business, 56c. is reinvested into your community. On the other hand, at a chain store only 21c. is reinvested into your community.
Local businesses spend locally.
By
paying local taxes, spending profits locally, and using other local services and
products, locally owned businesses help bolster the local economy. Local business owners are invested in
the community - We live here too!
Locally owned, independent businesses add so much uniqueness, class and personality to your communities – but they can’t service without your support.
Thank you for Thinking Local!!
