Top Ten Reasonsto Buy Local

Significantly more money re-circulates when purchases are made at locally-owned, rather than nationally-owned, businesses: Locally owned busi-nesses tend to purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms.

Most new jobs are provided by locally-owned busi-nesses: If the five million households in New England shifted 10% of their annual budget to Local Independents it would create 48,000 new jobs.

Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of our distinctive character: Our unique local character is what brought us here and will keep us here.

Local business owners invest in community: Local businesses are owned by people who live locally, and are more invested in the communitys future.

Customer service is better: Local businesses are closer to the customer and tend to hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service.

Competition and diversity lead to more choices: A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.

Reduced environmental impact: Shoppingat locally-owned businesses is more energy efficient. Locally-owned businesses make more local purchases thus reducing their transportation costs.

Public benefits far outweigh public costs: Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public ser-vices as compared to nationally owned stores entering the community.

Encourages investment in our community: A grow-ing body of economic research shows that entrepre-neurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind busi-nesses and distinctive character.

Non-profits receive greater support: Non-profit organizations receive an average 350% greater support from local business owners than they do from non-locally owned businesses.

When I Buy Local I buy from people

I know and people who know me. I put

money back into the local pockets and

I can see the benefits to the community.

It keeps the area healthy and working.

Since 1974, Peterborough

Camera Shop has provided

customers near and far with the

latest cameras and accessories,

print services, frames, passport

photos and more. By reinventing

the business again and again,

owner, Wayne Esty has remained

the go-to camera shop for ama-

teur and professional photogra-

phers for more than 40 years.

With people bargain shopping on line and printing photos

at home, competition is everywhere. But Estys customers dont

want the UPS man handing them their new camera. They want to

buy from someone who knows and loves what theyre selling. Estys

customers are used to service, the kind of service that never expires.

With any new camera purchase, Peterborough Camera

Shop customers receive a free 30 minute tutorial, plus one free

8x10 print. We want our customers to have a great experience, to

love their camera and see the professional prints we make every

day. Anytime they have a question they can come to us.

Esty said his success depends on shoppers deciding to

buy from a local shop rather than on line or at a big box store. But

he knows being local isnt enough. To be successful, service

must be exceptional. Always. If youre in it for the long-haul, like

I was from the beginning -- you bend over backwards for your

customers. Your relationships keep you in business.

Esty appreciates when customers refer others to him,

and regularly refers customers to other independent businesses

when he hears a particular need, Ive always shopped local, but I

think Monadnock Buy Local is helping to get that message out to

more people.

When the owners of the not-yet-opened Waterhouse

Restaurant in Peterborough told Esty they needed some art for

the walls, Esty offered help. He and long time employee George

Billings produced twelve magnificent black and white photo-

graphs, all with a water theme. It was a fun project, he said of

the neighborly gift.

Buy Independent and Buy Local campaigns have a big effect, according to a new survey of independent businesses. Heres how you can reap the benefits for

your local economy.

by Jeff Milchen, Yes! Magazine For four consecutive years, Stacy Mitchell of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) has undertaken a unique research project, surveying thousands of independent businesses about their sales figures from year to year. The results of ILSRs latest survey offered encouraging news for entrepreneurs battered by the recession and for organizations working to sustain vital communities. Independent businesses in U.S. communities with an active Buy Independent / Buy Local (BIBL) campaign reported the strongest figures since the surveys begana 5.6 percent increase over the previous year.

5 Ways to HelpYour Community

Go Local


This increase was more than two and a half times the gain (2.1 percent) reported by independent businesses located in areas lacking such a campaign. Among independent retailers, which comprised just under half of nearly 2,800 surveys tabulated, the contrast was even more dramatic during the holiday season. Those in communities with BIBL campaigns experienced a 5.2 percent increase in holiday sales, while retailers else-where reported an average gain of just 0.8 percent. While the survey proves correlation, not causation, the con-sistently positive numbers each year for businesses served by these local alliances is powerful evidence that sustained and sophisticated campaigns can shift local culture. In addition to the sales figures, nearly two-thirds of survey respondents said public awareness of the benefits of supporting locally owned businesses had increased in the last year and 55 percent said their local campaigns had made existing customers more loyal. Independent Business Alliances and buy local campaigns are becoming a basic tool for independent businesses to help differentiate themselves from their big-box and Internet competition by highlighting their meaningful connection to the community, said Kathleen McHugh, director of the American Specialty Toy Retailing Association. ASTRA was among many independent trade associations to cooperate in the survey. While not every local alliance is politically active, many con-sciously seek to build a counterforce to institutions like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and state groups that serve large corporate interests, so participating alliances were pleased to learn more than half of survey respondents in BIBL communities said local government officials had become more aware and supportive of independents concerns. Want to help your and your neighbors dollars stay in your community? Here are five ideas:

Five Ways to Help Your Community Go Local

1. As a consumer, look at the big stuff first.Our choices for bank accounts, groceries, and energy consumption, for example, can play a big role in helping promote local self-sufficiency. Some groups ask residents to shift 10 percent of their spending from outside entities or chains to local businesses.

2. As a citizen, exercise your right to participate in spending decisions.Learn where your tax money is spent. Can your city or town source more office supplies from local dealers? More school lunches from local ranch-ers and farmers? Are local governments using local insurers, banks, and suppliers? Learn about the current situation from purchasing officials (including their opinions) and available tools, such as local purchasing preferences and farm to school programs to inform suggestions.


3. Utilize the power of anchor institutions.Just as with government entities, shifting the spending of hospitals, prisons, museums and other community-rooted institutions can create huge positive impacts and new opportunities. These institutions often have public service as part of their mission, and often are open to citizen input. Community-Wealth.org provides a vast array of tools to help you get started.

Also if you support local civic groups, youth sports teams, etc., learn where theyre going for their needs. Its stunning how often local non-profit groups will solicit independent businesses for donations, yet buy their food, supplies, printing, etc. from chain competitors.

4. Help provoke a pro-local business alliance.The key word is provoke! Most of us dont have time to create new orga-nizations, but as the success of local businesses and community alliances grows, arranging an effective public meeting often will ignite ongoing organizing.

5. Differentiate our roles as citizens vs. consumers.While shifting consumer decisions is a core goal of any educational efforts, the most influential community campaigns inspire residents to recognize their power and responsibility to guide the communitys future.


If I want to live in a

community that feels

like one, I need to use

my buying power to help

create and support and

sustain that community.
