Why you should shop Indie?
When you shop at an independently owned business, your
entire community benefits:
The Economy:
·
Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in
your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community
only sees $43.
·
Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for
our neighbors.
·
More of your taxes are reinvested in your
community--where they belong.
The Environment:
- Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
The Community:
- Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
- Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
- More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals
in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating
independents.
