Why Shop Local?
• Money spent in local businesses stays in our community
• Creates new jobs and supports local economy
• Improves our local services by keeping tax dollars at home
• Leverages our local artistic and culinary expertise
• Ensures our city continues to be a unique destination
• Is more environmentally friendly because you can walk and bike to shop
According to multiple studies, locally-owned businesses are more likely to recirculate your purchase dollars into payments to other local suppliers. Economists call this a “multiplier effect,” because it redirects more jobs and sales-tax revenue into our own community.
Remember Shop Local. Shop Santa Ana.
