The 3/50 Project

3- What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they dissapeared? Stop in . Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

50- If 1/2 the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned, independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.* Imagine that positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

68- For every $100 spent in locally owned, independent stores, $68 returns through the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1- Number of people it takes to start the trend...you.

Pick Three. Spend 50. Save your local economy.
