I won't pretend I do not shop with Amazon but I always buy my clothes, accessories, food and skin care locally. Supporting small businesses, the backbone of America, has been a passion of mine since 6th grade. My best friends dad was an SBA lender and always preached the promise of investing locally for the betterment of the community. At the end of the day our community feeds us emotionally, financially and literally so it's up to us to contribute to it's wellness for OUR wellness ♡
My parents were small business owners, I have always practiced as I was taught. Buy local!
I always start in the city I live, then go onto cities we work in. I prefer to see my products and/or people in person - so online is not as appealing as it is to many others.
If someone would go one step further - I would buy only American Made products as well - just can't find a store willing to put their foot into that game.
As the Nevada State real estate association Global Committee Chairwoman,I travel and attend internatonal real estate expos to promote Las Vegas and the State of Nevada and encourage major investors to invest in our state. I am also a member of the Las Vegas HOST Committee promoting our city to visitors and expos/conventions. I believe that Local is Global and by promoting opportunities in our city and state, we support our local businesses.
I shop local often and as close to home as possible. Vancouver is ver congested with traffic so I stay on the Northshore as much as I can and mostly shop in West Vancouver. I also support the small business owners in our area as much as possible as I also run a business and understand we need to support one another in many ways. I also have a free directory online for local business" and it allows people to update their business directory for free and I can interview them for free if they contact me. park bench.com/ambleside and park bench.com/dundarave it is also free to post local events and I welcome everyone to use the site!!
Nothing exceeds the satisfaction of supporting shops owned by your neighbors and local business owners. I support these entrepreneurs and applaud their perseverance in an ever-changing economy to maintain the neighborhood feeling that is mainstream America. Thank you for your presence in my life and community that I call "home".
I Like to think that if you support local small to medium size businesses, you will receive better service then going out of town for the product you are looking for. But...you do have to do your research and due diligence and make sure whom ever your doing business with has a good reputation along with references from prior customers.

I shop small businesses, every week to support them. I like their social media pages, so I can get notifications from their businesses.

I connect with small business owners through my local Chamber of Commerce, and refer people to them 😀

Love going to neighborhood establishments. We are a family owned business. We strive to support whenever we can.
