WHAT’S MEANT BY
CHOOSE LOCAL? by PORT ANGELES CHOOSE LOCAL COMMITTEE
CHOOSE LOCAL IS an initiative that aims to educate residents about how supporting local businesses directly benefits the community. Choose Local was fashioned after similar campaigns across the nation that ask people to consider the effect their purchases have on their communities and the importance of patronizing local, independent businesses. Citing a 2008 study by Civic Economics, The 3/50 Project notes that for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, up to $70 returns through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If that same amount is spent at a national chain, only $43 stays locally. Additionally, based on 2009 employment statistics from the U.S. Labor Department, it adds that if half of the employed populations in the United States spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue nationwide. THE 3/50 PROJECT (www.the350project.net) suggests thinking of three local businesses you’d hate to see disappear and then spend $50 at them. A similar campaign, The 10% Shift, suggests shifting 10 percent of your existing purchases from non-local businesses to local independents. Its website (www.10percentshift.org) has a “Local Calculator” that allows you to enter your expenses and determine ways to make the shift. With the holidays approaching, think about the impact you could make if you did your gift shopping at independent stores rather than large chain stores, shopping out-of-town or going online.
you. Perhaps it means pledging to spend a certain amount of money on locally grown foods each month, or dedicating to spend it at a few local businesses. It could mean that the next time you need to purchase a pair of shoes or a new couch, you’ll first see what the local independent stores have to offer before heading out of town to other businesses. Or you could stop by a local bookstore for the book you want before submitting an order online. Home improvement projects could mean calling up local contractors and seeing what supplies are available at stores in town. More information about Chose Local can be found on its website at www.chooselocalpa.org. If you have questions or want additional information, contact the Choose Local committee at info@chooselocalpa.org.

CHOOSE LOCAL: BANKING
Local banking has so many advantages by MACKENZIE FITZWATER | PORT ANGELES CHOOSE LOCAL COMMITTEE
MOVING YOUR MONEY to a local bank or credit union is perhaps the simplest and most important way to support the local economy — and the best part is, it’s a no-cost, no-risk investment. Local banks are more invested in the local economy than the larger national banks. They are far more likely to provide hometown small businesses with loans. Because the local banks know that every city is unique, they are better able to assess the value of a business to the local economy. It is this insight that allows a local bank to offer small-business loans with a much lower default rate than the larger national banks. Because local banks were not involved in high-risk, nonlocal investments, such as subprime mortgage loans, they have been able to increase lending, where large banks have had to stop lending to small businesses and have closed many loans.
Local banks have benefits to local people as well as businesses. You don’t have to compromise when choosing a smaller local bank. Most local banks offer all of the conveniences of the big guys. You can still use any ATM, transfer your money online and some even have mobile applications. Not only is it easy, it can save you money as well. Local banks and credit unions offer competitive terms on loans and interest rates and dividends on checking and savings accounts. Some even offer to “meet or beat� the rates of any other bank. Best of all, they charge lower fees than the national banks, allowing you to keep more of your hard-earned money. Many local banks and credit unions offer free checking, no-fee ATMs and significantly lower overdraft charges.

CHOOSE LOCAL: LOOK LOCAL FIRST
Assumptions can cost you by LAUREL BLACK | PORT ANGELES CHOOSE LOCAL COMMITTEE
PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
1. Selection One of the aims of the Choose Local movement is to encourage community members to look local first — the selection at many local businesses may surprise you. That being said, we understand that it is not possible to cover every conceivable choice in a small community. All that local businesses ask is that you check them out first and give them an opportunity to serve you. Sensible business people don’t think that you owe them your business simply because of their address. 2. Price Many people assume that because a product or service is online, it will automatically be less expensive. This may also be due to assuming one doesn’t have to pay sales tax. That is not always the case, and online buyers often forget to factor in shipping and handling. >> Continued on Page 9

How Local is Your Bank?

ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS we often forget to Choose Local is all too human. We make assumptions about what’s available locally, whether it’s about selection, price or the quality of the buying experience, and allow these assumptions to determine our shopping behaviors. The fact that these assumptions are largely unconscious only adds to their power. Here are some common examples: ■ Local businesses probably won’t have exactly what I want. ■ Local businesses probably will charge more than an online or big-box company. ■ Local businesses probably offer less knowledge/help/expertise than online or big-box businesses. Really? How do we know? Assumptions and guesses can prove to be very expensive. It could be to your considerable advantage to consider the following:

When you purchase at locally owned businesses, more money re-circulates in the Port Angeles community. Local businesses often patronize other local businesses, service providers and farms. On average, for every $100 spent at a locally owned business, up to $70 stays in the local economy,
creating jobs and expanding the community’s tax base.
6. Enjoy selections geared to local tastes and needs Local businesses have a wider array of uniquely focused products because they buy and sell based on what they know local customers want and need, creating more relevant choices.

CHOOSE LOCAL: CUSTOMER SERVICE COUNTS
Note to customers: Go where you’re loved by LAUREL BLACK | PORT ANGELES CHOOSE LOCAL COMMITTEE
WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE should customers expect from a local company? This is one of the most critical considerations when people make purchasing decisions. Most businesses know that meeting customers’ expectations is certainly key to creating loyalty. But the savviest businesses know that exceeding expectations — not just meeting them, but making the effort to go beyond — is consistently the most important factor in generating repeat business. A high level of customer service creates greater customer loyalty and therefore greater repeat traffic and sales. This is probably a local business’ best defense against the encroachments of out-of-town malls and online buying. Those who want to support their local businesses will want to encourage great customer service because we go where we’re loved. Since you are far more likely to have a personal
relationship with the people at a local business, you should expect a high level of service. Businesses that are able to view themselves from their customers’ perspective have the best chance of creating the kind of shopping experience that attracts loyal buyers consistently. So shoppers who want to support their community by buying locally should seek out businesses that do the following: Understand Customer Expectations Nothing says service like the effort to anticipate the needs and problems of customers and to set realistic expectations through customer education and clear communication. Look for companies that are willing to assist, educate and help their customers, thereby demonstrating a deep understanding of what their customers want and expect. >> Continued on Page 10

Another way shopping locally benefits the community
2A694425
These costs vary widely and can make a purchase that seems to be an amazing deal, not so great. When you buy from a local business, those costs are covered by the business, but are not visible on the price tag. As with any business whether online or off, there may be difficult or costly return policies that don’t appear until it’s too late. Not to mention the time and inconvenience of returning products. Being online is no guarantee that you will get any more value for your money, and that’s really what it’s all about. 3. Expertise Many people assume that if you want quality products or professional services, you have to go to the city. Again, really? Ask yourself: Would you be better at your profession if you lived and worked in an urban area? Making assumptions about quality based on location is a losing proposition for all concerned. Since many of our community’s residents moved here from elsewhere, it is safe to say that their abilities and talents came with them. As to products, the vast majority of them come from the same manufacturers. They don’t magically get better because of where they’re sold. The Choose Local movement is just as much about benefiting buyers as it about benefitting businesses. We hope you’ll bear this in mind when making purchasing decisions.

CHOOSE LOCAL: CITY SUPPORTS LOCAL BUSINESSES
>> Continued from Page 8
City of Port Angeles walks the walk by BRENDA HANRAHAN | PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
IN AUGUST, the Port Angeles City Council passed a resolution in support of ensuring local businesses are considered first when determining selection of goods and services within the confines of state laws. The resolution allows staff to spend up to 5 percent more on products and services that cost up to $7,500 within the city and its eastern urban growth area, even if those are cheaper outside of those boundaries. During the past two years, the city has promoted a Choose Local campaign for the purpose of encouraging community members to make a choice to purchase goods and services locally rather than spending money outside Port Angeles. The resolution established a policy for purchases up to $7,500. Beyond that limit, state laws prevent preferential treatment of local vendors. The resolution gives local businesses a â&#x20AC;&#x153;5 percent advantageâ&#x20AC;? before city staff go outside the local area. The resolution, which was forwarded to the City Council by the Port Angeles Forward Committee, is also intended to create a template that could be
utilized and passed by other organizations. Each organization determines its definition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;localâ&#x20AC;? and operates under its own set of guidelines. Some of the advantages stated in the resolution included: â&#x2013; Purchasing goods and services from local businesses helps the environment by conserving energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging. â&#x2013; Locally owned businesses provide sustained employment and quality wages, benefits and working conditions to local residents. â&#x2013; Locally focused businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of Port Angeles. â&#x2013; Local businesses have a wider array of uniquely focused products because they buy and sell based on what they know local customers want and need, creating more relevant choices. â&#x2013; The city strongly encourages other local governments, agencies, businesses and nonprofit businesses to implement policies and procedures similar to the resolution.
Seek to Delight the Customer Businesses use the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;delight the customerâ&#x20AC;? to mean going out of their way to exceed customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expectations. Often if the business is smaller and independent, there is greater latitude for businesses to find customer-specific ways to surprise and impress. Customers remember and reward businesses that reach out, smile and seek to build positive relationships with customers. Attend to Unhappy Customers Often this means a compassionate ear. This should include front-line employees as well as owners when it is necessary to resolve a complaint. Eye-to-eye contact and empathy get lost with automation and computers. Statistics indicate that 50 percent to 75 percent of customers who complain will do business with the company again if their complaint is resolved. The number increases to 95 percent when the business acts immediately and strives to provide complete satisfaction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reassuring to know that when you have a complaint with a local business, you can resolve it in real time with a real person. Local businesses know they rely on customer retention and referral. They are listening, learning and improving.

CHOOSE LOCAL: PURCHASING AN AUTOMOBILE
When purchasing an automobile, it pays to shop locally by BRENDA HANRAHAN | PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
THE FOUR CLALLAM COUNTY NEW CAR dealerships say the decision where to purchase a vehicle is just as important to a community at large. Dealership representatives say many consumers have misconceptions about small-town dealers, including that smaller lots have less inventory, higher prices and fewer salespeople willing to help them with selection, finance options and service and maintenance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask or expect our customers to pay any more for a vehicle that they can get elsewhere,â&#x20AC;? says Bill Koenig Jr., sales manager at Koenig Chevrolet Subaru, 3501 E. U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize that they could be spending over 1 percent more in sales tax to buy elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you have a price from someone else on a like vehicle, call the dealership and ask if they would match it. In the long run, you will be paying less due to your sales tax savings.â&#x20AC;? For example, 8.7 percent is the vehicle tax rate in Clallam County compared to 9.8 percent in Seattle, Renton, Bellevue and Tacoma.
The rate is calculated by taking the current sales tax rate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 8.4 percent in Clallam County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and adding 0.3 percent, which is the motor vehicle tax, according to Howie Ruddell, owner and president of Ruddell Auto Mall, 110 S. Golf Course Road in Port Angeles. Of this percentage, 6.6 percent goes to the state and 1.9 percent is the local tax, Ruddell says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you buy a used car for $10,000, $190 in tax revenue stays in the local economy,â&#x20AC;? Ruddell says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In September alone, 155 used cars and trucks and 98 new vehicles were bought by local residents outside of Port Angeles, which means we lost out on about $100,000 in tax revenue for September.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a Clallam County citizen chooses to patronize local businesses with their hard-earned money, the revenue generated stays local and is reinvested,â&#x20AC;? explains David Price, owner of Price Ford Lincoln at 3311 E. U.S. Highway 101 in Port Angeles. Locally owned businesses also offer employees family-wage jobs and benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supporting local businesses allows local business to contribute back to the community in charitable
ways too numerous to list,â&#x20AC;? Price added. Another advantage of purchasing a car close to home is that you will save on gas and time away from your car when it needs routine service. Building a face-to-face relationship with dealership staff is another benefit. Mechanics become familiar with your vehicle and needs, which can make warranty repairs and routine maintenance easier. Clallam County auto dealers say offering competitive pricing and providing positive customer service experiences are vital to small-town businesses because they depend on word-of-mouth referrals to friends and family members to keep a business healthy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very thankful for the support that we have received during the last 36 years,â&#x20AC;? says Dan Wilder, owner and president of Wilder Auto, 95 and 97 Deer Park Road in Port Angeles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more cars we sell, the more people we can employ, who in turn support the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s furniture, clothing or other goods, when you shop local, you support the community.â&#x20AC;?
