Reasons to
Shop
Local |
At KLTI, we encourage our listeners to shop with and support local merchants.
Shopping locally is a great idea and helps all of us!
-
Shopping Local Creates Jobs: The jobs created allow spending in
the local economy and helps create more jobs.
-
Local independent shops invest more in our community: They
support local Charities, schools and community events which financially impacts our
community.
-
Local shops sell a wide range of great products at affordable
prices and cater to the needs and wants of the community.
-
Shopping local saves you money! Travel expenses and
delivery costs for larger items make the overall cost of items more.
-
Shopping local retains our community: Without the support of
shopping in the local community, restaurants and services are forced to close.
-
Shop Local retains our distinctiveness: Local businesses
respond quicker to the needs of the customers and stock products to meet the changing population’s
needs.
-
Shopping local helps reduce environmental impact: Local
shops often stock more locally sourced goods saving long distance freighting.
-
Local shops can be easily reached especially for the elderly
and young people and those without transportation.
-
Local shops value you more: These businesses survive by their
reputation & repeat business which means you get a higher standard of service.
-
Shopping local saves services: Private and public sector
services cluster around shops. As shops disappear, so do banks,restaurants & beauty
salons.
