The 3/50 Project

top image

3

Think about which three independently-owned business you'd miss most if they were gone.  Stop in and say hello.  Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.

50

If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently-owed businesses, their purchase would generate more that $42.6 billion in revenue.  Can you imagine what 3/4 of the employed population could do?

68

For every $100 spent in independently-owned store, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.  If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here.  Spend it online and nothing comes home.

The number of people it takes to start the trend......you.
