Upcoming Meeting
September 8, 2010 - Regular Meeting - Steelhead Saloon - Algoma
Steelhead Saloon in the heart of Algoma’s downtown will be the location of the next BuyLocal meeting. Members and prospective members are encouraged to learn of the activities of the group, review efforts and progress, as well as meet and network with like-minded local businesspeople. For more details on the upcoming meeting, contact Jennifer Brown of the KCEDC at brownjk@kcedc.org or 920-487-5233
Support Local Businesses and encourage others to do the same.
If we increased local retail sales by 10% we would generate: approximately 68 jobs, $1.5 million in wage income, and $2.3 million in total income.
When you consider those numbers, it doesn’t make sense NOT to participate. In fact, because the majority of businesses in our unique county are locally owned, raising our local spending closer to the national average will be easier than you think. The key is getting the word out. Speak to your friends and neighbors - BE VOCAL. Get kids involved - make it a game and challenge them to help find ways to spend locally.
