The annual Shift Your Shopping holiday campaign is here again!
From November 3 through December 31 many businesses will add the Shift Your Shopping logo to their promos reminding consumers that they are part of the local business community. This collaborative movement calls on shoppers to shift their holiday shopping to local businesses. Over 38,000 local and independent businesses are participating through over 140 local business alliances in the U.S. and Canada.
Supporting local businesses is good for everyone; and what better time than during the biggest shopping season of the year?
Local business owners and entrepreneurs:
- Create local jobs
- Build the local economy
- Invest in the community
Numerous studies show that spending your shopping dollars at local businesses is good for the whole community, town, and city.
But more importantly, it’s about people. These businesses are owned by your neighbors; they employ your kids; they support local activities. Support them this holiday season by shifting you shopping to local businesses.
