Shop Local and Save the Local Economy
Find the best deal, shop local and save your hometown economy. For every $100 spent locally, $68 returns to the local economy, according to The 3/50 Project, a website that promotes stronger local economies through support of independent retailers and the consumers who shop with them.
shopRoundTown and the goRoundTown Network supports The 3/50 Project by helping spread the word about saving our local economies. You can help start the trend of shopping locally. Just start with shopping at three independently owned businesses.
If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 the employed population did that. – the 3/50 project
Start by choosing 3 local independently owned businesses and spend at least $17/month. If you live in Macon, Georgia, you can start by shopping in Downtown Macon.
