Support Our Local Businesses
Sunday, April 26, 2009
Suzy loves to share cool ideas, and here is one project she supports. The 3/50 project is all about saving our local economy....three stores at a time. It is about saving the brick and mortars our nation is built on. Here are the details:
3
Think about which three independently owned stores you would miss most if they were gone. Stop in, say hello, and pick a little something up. That's how they stay around.
50
If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned stores, their purchases would generate $42,629,700,000 in revenue.
68
For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. In a national chain, only $43 stays here.
1
The number of people it takes to start the trend...you.
So...Pick 3. Spend 50. Save our local economy.
