350

3 Think about which three independently owned businesses you'd miss most if they were gone. Stop in and say hello. Pick up a little something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.

50  If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each
month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.* Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

68 For every $100 spent in independently owned stores,

$68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain,

only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1 The number of people it takes to start the trend...you.


Pick 3. Spend 50.
Save your local economy.
