We know how easy it is to press checkout on a big box store’s website and have products delivered to your front door. We understand the quantity of products these large supply chains provide. However, what large supply chain retailers lack is incredible customer service, uniqueness of products, and an objective of strengthening the community.
Invest in Your Community
If you are purchasing from a local business instead of a big box chain, you are supporting your community. Local businesses will purchase from other local businesses, stimulating economic growth within your community. As well, tax revenue from a small business goes right back into the community through support of local government. By purchasing from big box chains, your local community will not inherit any benefits.
Small businesses also participate and host community events and donate their products and services. Events in the community would simply not run without the support of small businesses. By shopping locally, you are giving back to your community.
A Personal Touch
Small businesses cater to your individual needs as a customer. No matter who you are shopping for, whether that be a family member, friend, or yourself, we’ll help you find a product that is exactly what you are looking for.
As well, we will take our time to show you around the store, introduce you to our products, and speak about the quality they offer. Instead of feeling lost in a large department store, come see us and we’ll give you a tour!
Small Businesses Create Employment Opportunities
According to Statistics Canada, small businesses employed 8.2 million workers while large business only employed 1.4 million workers. Small business are major providers to Canada’s economy, which is why supporting small businesses is crucial.
Encouraging Business Innovation
Small businesses stand out from large department stores with their creative innovation. Owners of small businesses have exceptional ideas and are constantly working to improve their products and services. By shopping locally, we are supporting business innovation and fostering a community filled with vision. At a small business, you’ll find a uniqueness that big box retailers can’t match.
A Positive Environmental Impact
Small businesses actively work to reduce their carbon footprint. We like to purchase products locally, which eliminates long-distance transportation. This decreases pollution and fossil fuels.
As well, you don’t have to travel far to visit your local small business! We’re right here in town, which reduces money spent on gas.
