Free Graphics for Small Business Owners to Promote "Buy Local Season"

"Spend where you live; support the people you care about" - we think this time of the year is all about making a difference with our dollars; spending at the places that matter, and helping to keep people we know in business and thriving. It's a powerful thing to be able to build and improve your own community, isn't it? We think so!

To celebrate America's beloved small businesses, we've ramped up our promotional efforts on the Facebook page Go Independent, Shop Small (Anywhere USA), an effort dedicated to bringing support, education, and festive graphics to people who love and care about the place that is "home" to them.  Thoughtful spending is a powerful way to build better towns, cities, and neighborhoods, so let's work together to spread the word that buying locally is "caring in action". Check out just some of our new creations and useful links below!

New for 2023, our "Live Local USA" images have been redesigned for each of our fifty states. You can view these promotional tools one of two ways; at the newest album offering a collage-type graphic for your state, or at the previous collection of over 153 designs.

• Live Local USA 2022 (alphabetically by state)
• Live Local 2023: (single graphics for each state)

Here's a fabulous new resource I found this week - Totally Locally provides fun and creative graphics such as these to illustrate just some of the many reasons for loving local places. We are enjoying their style and listing of just why to get out there in your own corner of the world! Visit their website here to download images just the two below.

Sharing the message about upcoming holidays designed to spotlight locally owned and operated retailers; check out websites for creative promotions like Plaid Friday, Artists Sunday, and Cider Monday. Visit the brains behind many of these thoughtful graphics and suggestions for "spending better" at the American Independent Business Alliance.

We've also created different "location pin" designs featuring peppy messages to remind your followers and community that spending with real people works to benefit everyone. See the Holiday Season 2023 album on our Facebook page.
