How Buying Local Affects the Economy

September 29, 2022 by Contributing Writer

As a consumer, have you wondered how your choices affect the local economy? Here are a few things that can happen when a small or medium sized business in your neighborhood doubles its sales due to strong local support. 

Expand services– The more money a small business makes, the more likely it will expand its product and service offerings and delve into new markets. For instance, your favorite local brand may set its sights on opening a new location in a nearby town. 

Improve the job market– When small businesses grow, they require more employees. A prospering local business can help create jobs in your area. 

Uplift other local businesses– Small businesses often look to local suppliers to support their growth and help each other prosper.

Increase social involvement– Local businesses are active in charitable causes. For example, thriving small businesses often give back to their communities by donating to local organizations. 

Reap tax benefits– Small businesses that make more money also pay more taxes. This means that more money is going back into your local government to help with infrastructure and social initiatives. 

Buying locally is an easy way to invest in your community. It is a simple move that benefits you as well.
