As we head into the holiday season think about shopping local and supporting the independent shops that line our neighborhoods that we love. Pie Footwear is a proud supporter of the 3/50 project and hope you too will think & shop local this holiday season and year round. Let's save our brick & mortar independently owned shops!
3 - What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say Hello. Pick-up something that makes you smile. Your purchases are what keep those businesses around.
50 - If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than 42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.
68 - For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.
1 - The number of people it take to start a trend - you
Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy.
