HISTORY
THE HISTORY OF
THINK LOCAL FIRST In the spring of 2007, a handful of Santa Cruz business owners rallied around a common concern: the threat to local businesses posed by proliferating chain stores and easy online shopping. The need to promote and strengthen Santa Cruz County’s independent and local business community has grown increasingly important with the growing prevalence, here and in other shopping districts as more chain stores move in. Think Local First – County of Santa Cruz was forming in 2007 around the shared desire to “promote and sustain economic vitality while preserving the unique character of Santa Cruz County.” The logic was that if the community was more aware of supporting independent and locally-owned businesses, everyone would benefit: a ‘local’ economy would prosper and circulate money throughout the community, in turn promoting local spending and, ultimately, contributing to the vibrancy and health of Santa Cruz County. In the early stages of Think Local First, folks volunteered their time and efforts without any guarantee of affecting much change. The TLF movement was largely fueled by inspiration found in stories of community support for independent businesses such as Kepler’s Books. In 2005, Kepler’s Books, a beloved and renowned bookseller in nearby Menlo Park, had abruptly shut its doors, having succumbed to competing chains and online book retailers. In an unexpected outpouring of support, the Menlo Park community came forth with donations, a viable business strategy, and a new board of directors. Within six weeks, Kepler’s Books re-opened and remains a vibrant hub of Peninsula cultural life. Santa Cruz County has seen a comparable surge in community awareness and support. TLF’s first public meeting took place at Bookshop Santa Cruz, our own local treasure, in October 2007. We invite participation by members of the public to share ideas and continue the momentum of the movement. Think Local First and its members emphasize the link between our unique, thriving local economy and a unique, thriving town. It’s a simple concept, really: what goes around comes around. It’s about creating our community – together. ThinkLocalFirstSC.org

10 REASONS TO SHOP LOCAL
Why shop at a locally owned business first? The following 10 reasons show how money spent at local businesses is reinvested in your community, creating economic vitality and helping the community maintain its unique appeal. 1
MORE MONEY RECIRCULATES IN THE LOCAL ECONOMY When you shop at locally owned businesses, more money stays in the community because local businesses frequently purchase from other local businesses. Purchasing local goods and services helps grow the local tax base as well as area businesses.
2 UNIQUE BUSINESSES CREATE CHARACTER AND PROSPERITY The distinctive character of Santa Cruz County is what brought us here and keeps us here. Independent and locally owned businesses are an integral part of the uniqueness of our area. 3 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IS REDUCED Local businesses purchase more of their inventory from other local businesses and require less transportation. They are usually located in the town or city center rather than the outskirts. This reduces urban sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution. 4 MOST NEW JOBS ARE PROVIDED BY LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES Small, locally owned businesses employ more people in the U.S. than large businesses. 5 NONPROFITS RECEIVE GREATER SUPPORT Local business owners donate more to local charities than national chains. 6 CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BETTER Local businesses often hire people with more specialized product or service expertise. Local business owners and employees live in our local neighborhoods and create a more personal shopping experience. 7 LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS INVEST IN COMMUNITY Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community, are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the city’s future. 8 PUBLIC BENEFITS FAR OUTWEIGH PUBLIC COSTS Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and utilize public services more efficiently than chain stores. 9 COMPETITION AND DIVERSITY LEAD TO MORE AND BETTER CHOICES A marketplace consisting of a number of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. 10 LOCALIZED ECONOMIES ATTRACT ENTREPRENEURISM AND A SKILLED WORKFORCE Economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.

Where does the Money Go?
Source: Andersonville Indie Impact Study Series Supplement, 2012
Independent businesses bring substantial benefits to local economies compared to their chain competitors. While chain stores and chain restaurants extract locally-generated revenue from the community with each bank transaction, independents create a virtuous cycle of local spending, producing more jobs for residents, increased tax revenue for local governments, more investment in both commercial and residential districts, and enhanced support for local nonprofits. In short, these businesses create better communities. THINKLOCALFIRSTSC.ORG

THE BIG PICTURE BY PETER BECKMANN
Beckmann’s Bakery co-founder and co-chair Last time I went shopping for my favorite hand lotion, I had an interesting experience. First, the lotions were hard to find, and lacking a helpful store clerk, I wandered through half the store before realizing that my lotion had been replaced by lower quality but equally expensive lotions. And secondly, in order to take advantage of the advertised “special” price, I needed to join their “club” first. Although benign on the surface, this little story sheds light on some important changes we encounter in national chain stores: The modern chain store layout makes us walk by all those items we did NOT plan on buying, before we get to the section with the everyday staples (bread, milk, eggs). Chain stores are staffed to a minimum. And since employee pay is kept to a minimum, turnover is high, and knowledgeable employees are harder to find. There is increasing pressure from national chains on their suppliers to deliver their wares at rock-bottom prices. Many of these vendors, committed to paying their employees livable wages and benefits, refuse to reduce their prices, and their products eventually are replaced by lower cost, lower quality, and higher margin products. The alternative lies in the ever-stronger movement toward local commerce, where shopkeepers choose their products based on their own and their customers’ preferences and not solely for profit reasons. The Think Local movement, promoted by umbrella organizations like BALLE (Business Alliance for Local Living Economies) and AMIBA (American Independent Business Alliance) currently comprises some 41,000 independent and locally owned businesses nationwide. It continues to grow, thanks to discriminating personal consumption choices by all of us. By shopping “locally owned” we are creating our communities together. Please Join us!
