SHOP HALTON HILLS SHOPLOCAL LOCALSHOPS SELL A WIDE RANGE OF GREAT PRODUCTS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. Many people get out of the habit of shopping locally and are then surprised by the range of products and gifts available. SHOPPING LOCAL SAVES YOU MONEY Out of town shops have done a good job of convincing us all that sole traders = expensive, but the evidence just isnt there to support this. If you add-in travel, parking costs, fees to transport larger items home and your time, the overall cost is often much higher. SHOPPING LOCAL RETAINS OUR COMMUNITIES People dont like losing shops and services in small towns and hamlets, but dont equate this to how they spend their money. Shops will only survive if customers spend locally -so if you want a vibrant community, where people can socialize as well as shop...Shop Local! SHOPPING LOCAL RETAINS OUR DISTINCTIVENESS No clone towns allowed! Independent shops create dis- tinctive shopping experiences and stock different products. They respond more quicky to the needs of local customers, stocking products to meet the changing population needs. They can also be more innovative. SHOPPING LOCAL SAVES THE ENVIRONMENT We are all aware of Co2 emissions and our environmental impact. Local shops do not require long car and bus journeys to get to...help reduce our global footprint. SHOPPING LOCAL CREATES JOBS Shops in our towns and hamlets create local employment and self employment. People who are locally employed spend in the local economy. LOCAL INDEPENDENT SHOPS INVEST MORE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. Sole traders and independent stores are proportionally more generous in their support for local charities, carnivals, schools and community events. So supporting local shops means a financial return in our community. LOCAL SHOPS ARE FOR EVERYONE. Most people can get to their local shops easily and this is especially important for people without transportation, such as the elderly, disabled or our youth. Keeping your shops open by buying locally helps the whole community. LOCAL SHOPS VALUE YOU MORE Evidence from numerous surveys show people receive better customer care and service in local shops. Traders survive by their reputation and repeat business - so shopping local means you get a higher standard of service. SHOPPING LOCAL SAVES SERVICES Private, voluntary and public sector services cluster around shops. The loss of the retail business on Main Street often corresponds to a reduction in these services. As shops disap- pear, so do hairdressers, vets, dentists, etc. 10 REASONS TO SHOP LOCAL
