Why
Should You, The Consumer, Shop Local Businesses?
Spending your dollars locally makes a big difference .
Supporting local small independent businesses is a wise choice and insures
the economic future of local communities. Many studies confirm that local
independent businesses and restaurants generate more than three to four
times the local economic activity of national chains. Taxes collected from
such local shop owners bring in up to six times the revenue,
while up to 70% of money spent in national chains leaves the Tampa Bay area.
On a typical shopping day, if all taxable purchases in the Tampa Bay area
were made at locally owned independent businesses rather than national
chains, the local economy would benefit by over $40 million dollars. By
doing business with locally owned independent businesses you help circulate
the money right here, for local goods and services from banking to health
care to printing and window washing, while taxes support our schools, parks,
law enforcement and more. Your choices create a richer community. All over
Tampa Bay, when you have a cup of coffee, a slice of freshly baked pizza,
get a haircut, discover a good book, find a unique gift at a locally owned
Small Business, your choice impacts our local economy. So use

goal is to raise awareness of the repercussions of spending money outside of
the local community, in particular, on the World Wide Web. Today, computers
have made it easy for local consumers to purchase goods and services at the
click of a button, but not necessarily knowing geographically where their
money is going.

is challenging local consumers to get involved by thinking before they spend
their mutual dollars outside our local community. As a Local Independent
Owner, it's wise to place your business in front of LOCAL
consumers, who will come back to your place of business over and over again.
More and more consumers are using the Internet coupled with the fact that
over 85% of the households in the Tampa Bay area are connected to the
Internet. The World Wide Web is NOW a formidable competitor, competing with
you for the local shopping dollars, removing revenue out of the local area
and, in most cases, removing those dollars out of Florida and, in many
cases, out of the U.S.
