Money Stays Local: When you spend $100 at a locally owned business, approximately $68 remains in the local economy, compared to only about $43 when you spend the same amount at a large chain. This money is often used to pay local employees, purchase from local suppliers, and support other local businesses.
Job Creation: Small businesses are major employers, supporting jobs for individuals in the community. Studies indicate that every $10 million spent at local businesses results in 57 jobs, compared to 14 jobs created by the same amount spent at an online retailer like Amazon.
Donations and Community Support: Small businesses tend to be more generous in supporting local charities, schools, and community events, donating 250% more of their revenue than larger businesses.
Local Economic Growth: Local businesses generate 70% more local economic activity per square foot than big box retailers. The money spent locally is reinvested, creating a "multiplier effect" that benefits the entire community.
Supporting Community Stability: A significant portion of small businesses (40%) are located in low-income communities. Supporting these businesses helps to improve stability and the overall local economy.
Unique Products and Services: Many consumers value the unique product selection found in local businesses, with 61% citing this as a reason for choosing them over large chains.
