Go Local keeps it local for Asheville

It’s been a tumultuous few years for everyone, and 2022 has proved to be no exception. With costs rising and supply issues putting historic pressure on businesses throughout the country, the importance of local and the power of getting the most value for the money has never been more relevant.

That’s why Go Local hasn’t just persevered through the pandemic but has focused on giving residents of Asheville and Buncombe County another reason to go out and avail themselves of the independent, local businesses that make this city what it is.

BETWEEN CARDHOLDERS AND BUSINESSES

Surprisingly, about 99% of cardholders are area residents, says Sherree Lucas, executive director of Go Local.

Lucas sees the relationship between cardholders and businesses as the fulcrum on which Go Local operates. “We’re the liaison between the local residents and the

local, independent businesses. When cardholders tell us they want to support this community, this is who they’re talking about — their neighbors, friends and family members. It’s personal.”

There are over 500 businesses listed in this year’s directory — from restaurants and food trucks to fashion outlets, pet stores, business services and Asheville’s famous independent shops and artists. Everything you need is there to make the most of this remarkable place we call home.

“One thing that makes Asheville so unique is this local, independent business community. It’s so special, so collaborative, and we just want that to continue. Businesses want to pay a living wage, and we hope that Go Local helps them to do that,” she says.

From 2021-22, coming out of months of difficult, lockdown-marked times, Go Local experienced a clear uptick in card purchases. There was a 21% yearover-year growth as residents began to venture out into the world again and experience Asheville

anew. Lucas is hoping for similar growth this year.

WHAT’S NEW IN 2023

Every year, many regular card purchasers are eager to see the new artwork that adorns the cards and branding. Last year’s butterfly embodied resilience but also fragility. For 2023, a vibrant owl sits front and center. “They’re symbolic — intuition, wisdom, observation, power, protection and intelligence,” says Lucas. “Those are all great qualities of our local, independent business community. Once again, Jenny Greer Fares has created the perfect mascot for us.”

This year, to help increase card use, Go Local will be more prevalent than ever inside participating businesses. In addition to “honored here” stickers behind counters and at points of sale, “proud member” stickers will also adorn windows and doors, while “sold here” signage will indicate businesses that sell the card. And, of course, the printed guide is available year-round in the city and surrounding area.

Go Local’s digital, online branding continues to be an important part of its community support. New business members are highlighted in the monthly newsletter (sign up at GoLocalAsheville.com), and thanks to Renee Hartwick regular social media postings keep Go Local very much front and center.

Its recently launched app, Go Local Asheville, available via Google’s and Apple’s app stores, has proved popular with thousands of downloads in the first few months, resulting in over 17,000 impressions to date. In addition, over 60 digital cards have been sold. Lucas is confident these numbers will continue to increase as word about the app spreads. In 2023, expect new features following user feedback, as well as innovative ways for businesses to promote themselves on the app.

Last February, Lucas and her team organized a series of workshops as part of Go Local Month, in which business members taught classes on a range of subjects. The response was so positive that workshops are being organized every month on themes such as website building and search engine optimization, along with lighter fare such as sewing and looking after houseplants.

A SURVEY WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Every year, the Go Local cardholder survey aims to help Lucas better understand how the cards get used and what attracts patrons to the initiative.

Participants were asked what encouraged them to buy a card in the first place, and the answers were revealing. Over 50% of respondents purchased the card to show support for the independent business community. Just under 33% of respondents said they bought the card specifically for the discounts and perks.

Lucas emphasizes the multiuse nature of Go Local. “Our cardholders have told us they love the program, as it gives them a chance to show their support for our local, independent business community. Many also use Go Local to discover new businesses such as specialty shops, restaurants or home improvement specialists.”

HIGHLIGHTING INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY

An important aspect of Go Local is its consistent highlighting of businesses that are majority owned by women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community. This work is most clearly seen online and on the app, where cardholders can search for businesses owned by these underrepresented groups.

Lucas and her team use social media and the monthly newsletter to spotlight individual members and important dates on the calendar such as Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Pride Month, Juneteenth and Christmas.

This year, 6% of businesses identified themselves as at least 50% BIPOC-owned; 5% identified as at least 50% LGBTQ-owned; and 60% identified as at least 50% women-owned.

Just over three-fourths of Go Local businesses receive at least 50% of their revenue from Asheville residents, highlighting again the importance of shopping local. And dollar for dollar, local businesses return three times as much money to the local economy as chain stores, according to an Economic Impact Analysis by Civic Economics.

“Because the money stays in the community, it’s really helping out these business owners — your neighbors, your friends,” says Lucas. “It helps drive economic growth for the businesses.”

Instagram and Facebook are increasingly important platforms for Go Local. Now with over 4,000 and 11,000 followers respectively, the pages are used to promote member businesses, local events and upcoming celebrations. For cardholders, it’s a yearlong reminder that the discounts are always active and the businesses are always engaged. In fact, 56% of cardholders who are on social media said they visited a business because they saw a Go Local post.

Asheville, as we all know, is a creative place, which plays out in the variety of businesses in the Go Local directory and the sometimes overlapping ways they operate. Seventy-three percent say they sell their goods and services via a brick-and-mortar presence, while 41% list online and 18% mo-

bile sales — whether that be food trucks, vendors at farmers markets or direct-to-you service providers such as plumbers and electricians.

COMMITTED TO ASHEVILLE

Community pride runs strong in Asheville, a sentiment reinforced by the 2022 Go Local business member survey. It revealed that nearly 60% participate because they’re proud of being recognized as part of the independent Asheville business community.

The survey also revealed that businesses are looking for more support from Go Local in the form of events, marketing support and general advocacy. Around a third of respondents said they wanted Go Local to increase its marketing efforts, while a third also said they were looking for marketing or business classes and workshops. This is something Lucas is taking on and building into a busier-than-ever schedule for 2023 — one that ultimately serves both the businesses and the city itself.

As Lucas puts it, “[Asheville] truly is like no other city its size in its originality and charm, in large part due to our local, independent businesses.”

Forging stronger school partnerships

Supporting schools has always been important for Go Local. To date, the project has donated nearly $220,000 to Asheville City Schools — over $40,000 alone in 2022.

To redouble those efforts and incentivize schools to raise more funds, in 2023, Go Local will be donating 100 cards to each of the eight schools in the city school system as well as the Real Life Program at ACSFoundation to use as fundraising tools. At $20 per card, this will give each school the opportunity to raise $2,000. In addition, 25% of Go Local card sales through business partners will be donated to the schools

and the Asheville City Schools Foundation.

This is a bit of a change from how things were done in the past. While previously, schools received 50% of the card sale proceeds, they weren’t able to raise the level of funds through their own efforts.

To help schools transition to this new system, Go Local has developed a “playbook” that will be given to each school’s Go Local coordinator. The booklet includes fundraising ideas, templates, digital assets (such as logos and graphic elements), best practices and tips.

WIDENING THE FUNDRAISING NET

Schools were surveyed about how Go Local could make the playbook useful to them in raising money, as Sherree Lucas, Go Local’s executive director, points out: “We talked to the schools; we asked what some of their most successful fundraising efforts were, and we incorporated them into the playbook to share with the other schools.”

Lucas firmly believes that the new fundraising structure will allow the cards to reach more parents, grandparents, friends and neighbors — meaning that more cards will be sold, with more money going to schools as a result.

“The goal of this change was to give Go Local more resources in which to support our local, in-

dependent businesses, while not taking away from the school donations,” says Lucas. “This will give schools the opportunity to receive additional funds, as Go Local will have more resources to promote the program and benefit the businesses, the cardholders and the schools.”

By freeing up resources, Lucas is now refocusing on more pronounced marketing for Go Local as well as organizing a series of business networking workshops throughout the year. On the marketing side, partnerships will be complemented by new features for the recently launched Go Local Asheville app, available via Google’s and Apple’s app stores.

MAKING AN IMPACT

In the past, proceeds have been used by parent teacher organizations for things such as beginning-of-the year supplies, school-based gardens and special projects, such as resources for remote learning when schools were closed during the pandemic. And more than a few field trips have been made possible thanks to Go Local donations.

“ Being local means more than close proximity or how long you have been in a place — it’s about loving an area and its people. Being local is about balancing your needs and desires with those of the people and land around you. It is about doing everything you can to ensure you are supporting yourself and those around you. ”
