At the heart ot the effort is the mindset that thinking and spending local makes a difference. According to a study done by the American Independent Business Allicance, $68 out of $100 stays within a community when spent at a local business verses $48 when spending at large one without local ownership. Those dollars add up as they continue to be spent time and time again within the community. From purchases of unique holiday gifts or household basics to hiring someone to perform a service, money spent at local businesses generates 3.5 times more wealth than shopping at large national chains.
