I'm a small business owner. You may be also. It's almost certain that someone in your family is.
Coming soon on this blog, I'll profile a number of Central Indiana small businesses. If you'd like to be included, email me here.
I wanted to share with you a couple of infographics that highlight why shopping locally in Indianapolis and Central Indiana is an important issue for our local communities. While shopping at a big box store - or spending money at national chains (like restaurants) - may be slightly cheaper or convenient, there is a definite cost to our local, Indiana economy.
And that cost then comes right back and hurts you - and me - in the form of less cash circulating in our local economy, fewer jobs, and many, many other areas.
The Shop Local movement continues to gain steam, and here's why: It's estimated that in most metropolitan areas in the U.S. - like Indianapolis - the act of consumers consciously shifting just 10% of their purchases from national chains to local businesses would generate an additional $200 million annually to local economies and grow an additional 1,300 to 1,600 new jobs in central Indiana. That's huge!

Those numbers are pretty crazy, right? And even if you doubt their accuracy somewhat, I think we all know this to be a common sense issue.
I know there's no way that we all can - or maybe even should - shop locally ALL of the time. But making an effort to increase our local shopping can do nothing but benefit us all!
Everyone loves to shop. Bodrum shopping is the must do thing. You get a great deal on all products of weekly markets while doing shopping in Bodrum.
