WHAT WE DO#WeSpendLocal is committed to educating the community on the importance of shopping with local businesses. Our communities and local economy are dependent on patrons who spend their paychecks in their own backyard.
With online sales and large retailers continuing to lower prices and eliminate competition, local economies are being affected at a record breaking pace. It is time for you to stand up and commit to spending your dollars locally. We have created innovative ways to interact with our local community. From local screens to online advertising, we can find a way to connect you with local people who want to engage with your brand. |

Why Spend Local?
Shopping local is crucial to your community. #WeSpendLocal exists to emphasize the importance of this principle.
$68 of every $100 goes back into your community when it is spent locally. Only $2 to $14 goes back to your community when you choose large corporations or online retailers. Make a smart choice and choose to continue to invest back into the community in which you live.
When you purchase from a local business, you aren't paying for another grand vacation, new car, or summer house for a large company CEO. You are purchasing from your neighbors who will use that money to purchase new soccer cleats for their kids, or groceries for their families.
YOU have the power to make a difference in your community!
