Spend Smart This March By Supporting Your Independent Retailers

Make this month a time for focus on your favorite local businesses - not just saying words or sharing images, but really following through with the actions! Help keep the lights on in your tiny shops, fabulous retailers and charming restaurants which make your community a better place to live.

Find resources to spread the message about the value of shopping locally. Visit the American Independent Business Alliance's website for seasonal images to download and share.




Build your St Patty's day celebration around an independent restaurant and keep your green in the local community.




Vote for the small businesses in your community by spending with them. It's a positive action we can all participate in!




Be enthusiastic in acknowledging the loyal guests, clients and patrons which keep your doors open. Thank them frequently and be genuine in your appreciation.




Don't take the power of your dollars away from the independent businesses where you live. Plan ahead for better choices such as spending in your own neighborhood.




If we are lucky enough to HAVE wonderful small businesses then THAT'S worth celebrating. Am I right??




Keep the green at home by choosing to shop at independent retailers. Each of the choices we make DOES matter, because without our support those small businesses will fade and die.




Your favorite independents need support of area residents to survive and thrive.
