3 Things To Consider When Shopping Locally This Christmas Season

With Christmas just around the corner, have you started shopping yet? While it is so easy to order online and let’s be honest, the Amazon truck comes to our house way too often, there is something to be said about walking into a store. Browsing the stores for the perfect gifts for your loved ones can be fun, and can make a difference in our communities. 

First thing to consider is when we shop at locally-owned businesses, we bring money back to the communities we live in. According to national statistics, for every $100 spent in a locally owned store, 68 dollars stay right in our community. When we shop at the big box chain store, only 43 dollars stay in our community. That's a huge difference when our goal is to contribute to the growth of our community.

Another factor to consider is that the people who live in our community are the ones picking out what goes into their stores, rather than some big box chain store where someone is picking out things for them. That is why I love going to local stores and seeing what they think their customers will enjoy.

The third thing is, you can get to know people, they want to build relationships with their customers because they live here in our community.

I am encouraging everyone to go do some local shopping. Shopping locally is a great way to help out your community and strengthen the economy.  

We did compile a list of our favorite shops. You can get a copy here if you would like. 

Merry Christmas and happy shopping! If you find something fantastic in one of our local stores, tag me on Instagram as I would love some ideas!

What It’s Like to Live in Your Home While It’s for Sale?
When you decide to sell your home, you’re going to have to make it available for showings. However, you still need to live somewhere, right?
