Why Buy Local First?

  • PROSPERITY Every dollar spent at a locally owned independent business generates two to four times more economic benefit in the community than a dollar spent at a globally owned business.
  • STABILITY Local ownership minimizes the chance that a business will pull up stakes and move to another town.
  • FLEXIBILITY Local business owners are generally more available to their customers to develop personal relationships, hear feedback and accommodate customer requests.
  • DIVERSITY Local businesses help a community retain its unique character.
  • SUSTAINABILITY Spending money at locally-owned businesses decreases transportation costs, reduces the use of underpaid labor, and rewards those that are not shipping jobs overseas.

Sponsored by Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, HOUR Exchange, Corvallis Chamber of Commerce and The Business Enterprise Center.
