The pandemic can have a silver lining for local business owners, but they require your
00:08
help. In addition to the friendly neighborhood customer service and the contribution to the
00:12
unique character of your community, here's why you should shop locally and support local businesses.
00:17
The Institute of Local Self-Reliance reports, locally owned businesses build strong communities
00:23
and in an otherwise homogenized world, one-of-a-kind businesses have distinct character
00:28
in addition to their economic advantage. Locally owned businesses help to sustain vibrant town
00:33
centers, create a web of economic and social relationships and contribute to local causes.
00:39
It's likely your one-stop local shop is a friendly walk away in a centralized location
00:44
and has significant environmental benefits than your out-of-town mall. The local good reports
00:49
you'll be contributing to less pollution, congestion and habitat loss. Local shops hire
00:55
locally and help to establish a network of community. Differing from the corporate hiring
01:00
world, Market Watch reports, hiring locally contributes to the tangible growth of the company,
01:05
circulating the benefits right back into the community. According to the Small Business
01:09
Administration, when you spend $100 at a small business, $48 of it stays in the community,
01:15
as opposed to the $14 that stays at a national retailer or corporate enterprise.
01:21
The local good says locally owned businesses also purchase from other local businesses,
01:26
service providers and farms. You will help other businesses grow as well as the local tax base.
01:32
Believe it or not, you matter more, so start exerting influence with your purchasing
01:37
and start seeing how your business will respond to you.
