SHOP THE FEDERAL HILL MAIN STREET GIFT GUIDE
If your inbox looks anything like mine, then you are already inundated in Black Friday Deals and flashy advertisements that steal your attention. Let’s be honest, we all already probably have a few items in our online shopping carts. That’s okay.
Even better though than the flashy sales of big name stores, is the community cultivated around shopping locally, and supporting small businesses.
Here are our top three reasons for shopping locally this year:
Keep Money Local - There’s no disputing the impact shopping local has on the economic vitality of your neighborhood business district. It keeps the area robust, creates local jobs, and encourages growth all in your own backyard.
Support Makers - Local makers, artists, and producers can sell you what big name brands can’t; culture and pride! When you support local, you are supporting someone who knows your culture, creates a story around your specific location, and can give you a product or experience that is truly unique.
Build Community - Shopping in your local stores allows you to know your local makers and neighbors more intimately. This impacts everything from health in your community, to trash production, and has impacts as far reaching as reducing environmental strain. How cool is it that the simple act of walking downtown can have such a butterfly effect?
