More Reasons to Shop Indie...
Embrace enthusiasm and expertise
- Local retailers are your friends and neighbors, have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you, and they’re absolutely passionate about what they do. Take advantage of it.
Conserve tax dollars
- Buying local means less infrastructure and more money to beautify your community. Buying local instead of online ensures that sales taxes are reinvested where they belong: in your community.
Reduce environmental impact
- Buying from a local business conserves energy and resources: less fuel for transportation, less packaging, and products that you know are safe and well made, because your local retailers stand behind them.
Nurture community
- Besides the pleasure of knowing your local retailers, studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains.
Invest in entrepreneurship
- Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community.
Create local jobs
- Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
Make your community a destination
- The more interesting and unique a community, the more it will attract new neighbors, visitors and guests. This benefits everyone.
