Shop small! Book your consult and future safe sits with me today!
Today, the day after the big sales and before the online rush, is our annual chance to celebrate the heart and soul of our community - Small Business Saturday!
Choosing to shop local isn't just about finding a unique gift—it's about making a profound investment in the place you call home.
Did you know that when you shopping locally you are:
- Keeping money in the community. For every dollar spent at a local independent business, a significantly greater portion of that money stays right here, recirculating in our local economy to support other local jobs, services, and families.
- Lowering the impact of transportation emissions. Local businesses often source goods closer to home, use local supply chains, and require less long-distance shipping and fewer distribution centers than big box retailers. This means less fuel consumption and a smaller carbon footprint for your purchase!
- Encouraging sustainability. Small businesses are often nimble and more willing to adopt eco-friendly practices like using local, seasonal products, offering refill programs, and choosing minimal or compostable packaging over excessive plastic.
- Preserving our lands. Supporting local shops discourages the massive development needed for large chain stores and warehouses, helping to preserve open space and green land from sprawling commercial centers.
Stop by your favorite neighborhood café, boutique, bookstore, or hardware store today. Share a photo of your local haul and tag your favorite spot!
