Why Shop Local?

uy Local” stickers and campaigns are everywhere. You can find them in the corners of shop windows and on decals on people’s vehicles. A community’s local businesses give that region character and are filled with history and tradition.

Why “buy” into the movement? Consider the following three reasons:

INJECTING MONEY INTO THE LOCAL ECONOMY When you purchase items from a locally owned business, more money stays in the community. It is this circulation of money that is crucial to a community’s success. Many “ghost towns” — once thriving communities that have shut down or are well on their way — came to their fate not because of too little money being made but because of money flowing out in the direction of big box stores and online retailers. In fact, according to the Andersonville Study of Retail Economics, shopping locally generates 70 percent more local economic activity per square foot than their big box than getting you the items store counterparts. that you need; they also are SUPPORT LOCAL helping others in the commuFAMILIES nity get the things they need.

By spending While the sticker price may your money in local shops, be a little higher at times than you are supporting the people you would find in big box and families that live in your stores, you are guaranteed community. that your dollar is doing more Your dollars are doing more work for your community.

QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE You are much more likely to get great customer service at a local shop than at a large chain retailer. Local shops don’t normally apply sales quotas to their employees and depend on consistent customer service to turn a profit. Local shops also are deeply invested in your experience because they rely on your repeat business and word of

mouth. Owners must live and work in the same community you do, and they will hear about negative feelings about your visit or their product. Plus, if you have any questions, you will be guaranteed to talk to an actual person (in the shop) rather than a recording or a customer service associate who might be in another country.

The Chamber of Commerce

lmost all communities have a chamber of commerce, so be sure to take advantage of this great resource.

The chamber of commerce is the heart of any thriving business community. Chambers provide a directory of local businesses and often maintain a calendar of local events. Networking with your local chamber’s business

members is a great way to become more invested in the downtown, family-owned companies in your community.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY The local chamber should have a business directory that

Find the Perfect Gift

atching someone open a gift you’ve given them is a special kind of joy. Shopping for that gift, however, is another matter. Often, there is a high stress level associated with purchasing items for other people. There is always the risk of buying someone something they already own or purchasing the same gift as someone else. Shopping locally could be the answer to these problems.

SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISANS You will likely find many items in local shops that you won’t find in big box stores. Small and locally owned businesses often pride themselves on discovering and supporting local artisans and displaying their wares to the community. Added bonus: By purchasing these items, you are helping to keep your community unique. Supporting these businesses ensures they will stick around for as long as they can. See GIFT, Page 8

In 1995, I took some time off from my art career and did some experimenting in my kitchen. The result was COWGIRL CHOCOLATES which I started in 1997, partly as an art performance project. As if by magic (mostly by hard work and good decisions), the art performance grew into a recognized and prize winning company. Way back then, nobody was combining chocolate (especially good chocolate) with spices. My crew and I called it the “Cowgirl Kick.” To our pleasant surprise, we began to win awards in national competitions, were featured on the Food Channel and CNBC, and started to ship our chocolates around the world. In 2005, after many years solely on the Internet, we opened a shop in Moscow at 428 W 3rd St. Here you can browse for our famous spicy and mild (not spicy) truffles, as well as our solid or truffle chocolate bars, caramels, cocoa, special gift baskets, art and other gifts. We are open Mon. - Sat. from 10 to 5:30. You can call us to order at 208.882.4098 or visit us online at www.cowgirlchocolates.com. Now, 20 years later, Cowgirl Chocolates’ pioneering spirit has caught on and other companies have joined the wagon train in spicy chocolate and candies. We look forward to seeing you at the shop where we are celebrating 20 years by doing free giveaways and monthly drawings of chocolate gifts. - Marilyn Lysohir, the head cowgirl

Best Farmers Markets

armers markets are the best places for locally sourced foods and fresh in-season ingredients — and are the cornerstone of small business in America. They also are more popular than ever before.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, there were 7,175 farmers markets operating across the country as of 2011. They also have picked up notoriety as a tourist destination. While these markets began as a way to serve local families and are a popular source of fresh foods for restaurants (and continue to be), they also are a great source of local cul-

Your Dollar Is the Currency That Garners the Most Attention, and How You Spend It Matters.

“S

hopping local” is often a term applied to shopping in our immediate community. However, it is important that when we think about shopping locally, we think about global production and consumption. In that regard, the United States also is our local community.

We live in an economy where a majority of our goods are made and produced overseas because the labor is cheaper. Organizations such as The Reshoring Initiative are working hard to bring manufacturing (and the accompanying jobs) back to the United States. Here are just a few of the

many reasons to purchase goods made in the America.

Founded in 1937, Dissmore’s IGA was owned and operated by three generations of the Dissmore family until the late 1990s. It was sold to Tidyman’s and went into a period of decline. In 2006, my family purchased the store from them and began the rebuilding process. In 2011, we were recognized by the State of Washington for our commitment to community service. Today, my family and I live in Pullman and take an active role in supporting our great community. Thanks to our loyal customers, Dissmore’s IGA is once again a thriving, locally owned and operated hometown supermarket. We offer a wide range of addedvalue customer services including a USPS Branch Office and UPS Access Point, Blue Ribbon Dry Cleaning drop-off, Western Union money transfers, and Wash.

Small businesses (businesses with 500 employees or less) account for 99.7 percent of all business in the country and provide 67 percent of the nation’s jobs, according to the United States Small Business Administration and the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America.
