GROWTH FOR ALL
As local businesses grow, so does their ability to create
more products and improve their service, all at less expense to the consumer. This can mean growth for the business, as well as for your wallet. In many cases, you can find the same product at your
local store for the same price as the big box, saving you time and money.
RIPPLE EFFECT
Small-business owners have a tendency to buy
supplies locally and use local services for their business needs. When an independent business owner needs a vehicle maintained or a haircut, he or she is more likely to spend money on local services, according to The American Small Business Coalition. This means your money actually touches many of the local businesses in your area one by one, helping enhance your economy for years to come.

Local shops are focused less on the mega deals that actually can cost you more in the long run. But this doesn’t mean they aren’t in the business of giving deals. Many independent retailers provide discounts to those who live nearby, helping you save money instead of paying more in tourist taxes that some out-of-town establishments may charge. Some local businesses boast price-matching programs, as well. Ask your local owners if they are willing to match deals you find at other businesses. Their answer may surprise you – and help you save money.

t’s simple economics. As much as $75 out of every $100 that you spend at locally owned businesses remain in your area, according to recent studies. Compare that to $40 at non-locally owned establishments and zero dollars when you buy online, and your shopping priorities should be crystal clear.
LOCAL IMPACT
More money staying put in your area means more funding for your schools, roads and hospitals. Tax revenue created from local purchases goes back into community improvements and new development opportunities. In short, your money plays a major role in enhancing your daily life and the lives of those around you – depending on where you spend it. Additionally, small-business owners are more likely to make social investments in the community by volunteering at their child’s school, donating to local charities and hosting fundraising events, according to The American Small Business Coalition. Doing so allows these entrepreneurs to ingrain themselves into their communities and make it known that they are sensitive to the needs of those around them. From local music groups to youth sports teams, small-business owners are quick to offer their sponsorship and money to help support community groups. This helps create customer buy-in for business owners, as well as a reputation for genuinely caring about their communities.
HIRING LOCAL
And since local business owners hire local workers – about half of all private sector workers are employed in small businesses, according to the Bureau of Labor – money for taxes and wages stays in the community, too. Unemployment statistics are linked very closely to the success or failure of small businesses, which means that your infusion of shopping money can also make a positive impact on a national level. This creates a strong © FOTOLIA connection between workers and customers alike. You’re more than just another number in the customer count when you visit a local business. Without your business, your local small-business owner would not be able to hire or retain as many local workers. From the owner down to the seasonal part-timer, all employees of small businesses depend on your support.

ine Company of Moscow owner Dennis Baird said he has seen a number of changes in the wine resale industry in 35 years of business, but for the Wine Company of Moscow customers aren’t one of them. “Our first customer when we opened in 1978 still lives here in Moscow and still shops here. That’s quite amazing,” Baird said. The Wine Company of Moscow, which opened its doors part time in 1978, was founded by Baird and his wife, Lynn. The store is managed by Terry Eckwright. The business, which counts about 200 residents as its “regulars,” offers exceptional service, knowledgeable staff, great everyday prices, gourmet foods and an amazing selection of cheese. And of course, Wine Company of Moscow offers an impressive selection of wines and beer. Baird said products sold in the store come from all around the world and almost all of the wines are under $15 with many under $10.

ocal business owners are often treasure troves of historical knowledge related to your area, so shopping locally can provide you with a full-blown education.
The next time you are perusing through a downtown business, ask yourself if you know the history of the building you are in. No? Odds are the owner does. They can give you detailed information about their buildings or the services that used to be offered there because they are privy to past records and business documentation. They know who owned the building before them, probably dating back to its construction.
with schools to promote the importance of shopping locally. Strategically placed around annual spendhappy periods such as backto-school shopping, these links attract more parents
and children into local shops for items such as school supplies, backpacks and clothes. In addition to bringing in more business, local owners use these partnerships to
educate young people about entrepreneurship, economics and finances. Teachers are use the promotions to focus on these topics, many times through week-long lesson plans.
If your local school doesn’t participate in such a program, consider pitching the idea to YOUR LOCAL 04! MEMBERS OR administrators. It’s never too early to plant the seed of business in the minds of our youth.
BRING THE KIDS
It’s never too early to pass on the values that drive you to shop local and support your neighbors. Your sons, daughters, nieces and nephews will earn money and shop for themselves one day, and they may even be future small-business owners. Bringing them along for the shopping trip to your favorite downtown store will give them a great understanding of the benefits of spending money locally and may spark an entrepreneurial spirit within them.

ndependent businesses across the country have worked hard at getting their message to the masses. Message received.
Local First initiatives are boosting customer traffic on Main Street, according to a 2013 national survey of independent business owners conducted by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance in partnership with the Advocates for Independent Business. With 550 member businesses, Local First is the largest organization supporting and advocating for locally owned companies in the Midwest. The survey – gathered from 2,602 independent businesses – also found that small-business owners need policymakers to do more to create a level playing field. Write your local congressional leaders to make your voice heard on any of the following issues you feel need to be addressed.
Among the survey’s key findings: s 3TRONG GROWTH Independent businesses reported revenue growth of 5.3 percent on average in 2013. s "UY ,OCAL -ORE THAN percent of businesses located in cities with active Local First campaigns reported increased customer traffic.

or local businesses, it’s all about the customer experience. This means friendly attitudes and a focus on you, not your dollars. You aren’t likely to find quota-driven salespeople around every corner at your local independent business. That’s because small-business owners depend on your repeat business. If they scare you off the first time you visit their store, they also scare off future revenue.
POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
Local business owners treat you with respect and kindness because they need your support. Your money keeps their dreams alive, their families fed and their lights on. It also helps fuel their creativity and passion. Without innovation and a love for their business, independent retailers don’t have much of chance to succeed in the highly competitive fight for your dollar.
CONVERSATION
Local owners are quick to talk with you and ask about your life because they are genuinely interested in learning about their customers. Gaining a better understating of their target audience helps owners improve their services, which, in turn, boosts their bottom line. Conversation can be extra helpful if you’re trying to complete a home improvement project. One trip to your local hardware store can often be less time-consuming and more informative than one to a big box operation.
REAL PEOPLE
If you have a question for your local business owner, odds are you can track them down on the phone with one or two calls. And you can bet you’ll actually hear a human voice when you make your call. Finding courteous assistance without having to punch through a hoard of automated “please holds?” What a novel concept.

“Retail Therapy� isn’t the only way that shopping locally can make you feel good. The impact you make on the environment can go a long way, too. Every dollar you spend locally decreases your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of gas and packaging required to complete the supply chain process. The connection between smart shopping and sustainability is strong, especially when spending is at its peak. So whether you’re shelling out your hard-earned tax refund or Christmas shopping stockpile, don’t forget the health of the environment and the shape you want to leave it for future generations.

Wasankari Construction “The Building Recyclers” - Celebrating 36 years of recycling on the Palouse
Visit our new office made completely from recycled and salvaged materials.
Owner Doug Wasankari has over 40 years of experience in retrofitting foundations and basements under existing buildings, structure relocation, demolition and materials salvage. As a byproduct of the construction and deconstruction, Doug and his wife Melanie have created a very unique building materials recycling retail yard. Items arrive from the crews to the yard to be processed for re-use in remodels, new construction, landscaping and art works. Some of these items available to the public are: hardwood floorings; doors; windows; used brick lim-
bers; electrical; plumbing fixtures; and used metals. Doug has estimated that Wasankari Construction has kept 1000s of tons of reusable items out of the landfill and saves 100s of older buildings from being torn down. In the last eight years, Wasankari has added more than 1,500 tons of stone inventory. A sample of items for sale are flagstone, columns, fountains, stone
veneers, large and small retaining wall boulders and decorative rock ground covers. Most recently the business has begun production of small precast concrete. The stone stamped stepping stones and steps in custom colors and “critter” imprints have become popular as a unique landscaping option. Wasankari has so much on hand it cannot be listed, so you will need to stop by and take a look.

Our Business Is Earning Your Trust!
L
es Schwab isn’t your regular tire store and that’s a fact we take pride in. From literally running out to meet you to our Best Tire Value Promise, we do things a little differently. We’ve set a standard in the tire industry that sets us apart from every other dealer through our desire to be more than a faceless corporation. We’d rather be that neighbor down the street you know and trust. The Moscow Les Schwab employs 26 people. That’s 26 people who live locally, spend locally and help make your community the great place that it is. Like in all of the more than 400 Les Schwab stores across the West, our customers’ happiness and satisfaction has always been our top priority. So if you want to do business with people who take pride in their performance and honesty, why not drop by and see Rick Giddings and his crew? We promise you’ll be glad you did.
