Why It Makes Sense to Buy From Local Independent Businesses:
- Local independent companies like IVES recirculate revenues at TWICE the rate into the local economy when compared to companies from outside the area.
- On a sales-per-square foot basis, local independent companies have FOUR times the economic impact as out-of-town based companies.
- For every $100 spent at a local independent business, as much as $68 stays in the local economy compared to only $43 when the same amount is spent at a chain store. (Andersonville Study of Retail Economics).
- Local independent businesses pay more taxes and rarely receive tax breaks or subsidies.
- Local independent businesses make up the distinctive personality of the community.
- Local independent businesses support local charities.
