Blog Post: Support Local Business!
posted Thursday, December 11, 2008 9:10 AM
Everyone is tired of hearing economy this and economy that...All of the doom and gloom is affecting not only our morale, but our ability to pull ourselves out of situations that we MAY have control over.
I am asking all of my friends and family to support local businesses in their attempt to survive these trying times. I know that Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has deemed this "Support Local Business Week" or whatever, but I am committed to take this a step further. We have shifted our focus to supporting local businesses wherever possible. We have control over where we eat, where we go for entertainment, and where we do our shopping both in our business and personal lives. Putting money back into the local economy is ALWAYS a good thing. Think about what a large impact we could make if many people committed to doing this. You spend money with a local merchant, that merchant not only stays in business, but spends their own money with another local merchant, and so on and so on...In turn, you benefit from the money that stays in your community! Think about it before you spend... Look for locally owned companies and support them! Try it for a few weeks and see if it makes sense to you. I am vowing that I will do the same! I will compile a list of businesses in my area (SW VALLEY) that are locally owned and/or operated. If you would like to receive the list, please respond to this post. If you are in the Southwest Valley and would like to be included in the list, please contact me and I will get your information! Just a thought...
