"Shopping locally gets you #�
'more than just products 11'0
and services"4.:
With a long Christmas gift list to fill and not very
much time left to fill it, you may be a bit too busy
to think about the many "extras" you receive
when you shop locally.
BONUS #1
Lural businesses depend upon
you for their livelihood and they
really value your patronage. For
this reason, they stuck the kind of
quality products that build cus-
tomer satisfaction. if you are
happy with the things you buy,
they.krww you'll shop in their
stores again.
BONUS 12 - BONUS #i3
Your hometown businesses are small
enough to know you personally and
that is what makes them "big enough"
to serve you properly. You receive cour-
tiuus, personal attention and you are
never treated as.'just another face to the
crowd."
Part of every dollar you spend benefits
you and your community in the form of
taxes paid to your town by these local
businesses. Local firms also support lo-
cal chanties, service dubs, and minor
sports. When you shop out of town.
you ate supporting someone else's cvm,
munity.... not your own.
So,before you go to fill out your gift list, think aboutthese and the
many other bonuses that are yours when you shop locally. Give your local
businesses what they deserve ...
