Reasons to
Shop Local |
At KZBK, we encourage our listeners to shop with and support local merchants. Shopping locally is a great
idea and helps all of us!
-
Shopping Local Creates Jobs: The jobs created allow spending in the local economy and
helps create more jobs.
-
Local independent shops invest more in our community: They support local Charities,
schools and community events which financially impacts our community.
-
Local shops sell a wide range of great products at affordable prices and cater to the
needs and wants of the community.
-
Shopping local saves you money! Travel expenses and delivery costs for larger
items make the overall cost of items more.
-
Shopping local retains our community: Without the support of shopping in the local
community, restaurants and services are forced to close.
-
Shop Local retains our distinctiveness: Local businesses respond quicker to the needs
of the customers and stock products to meet the changing population’s needs.
-
Shopping local helps reduce environmental impact: Local shops often stock more
locally sourced goods saving long distance freighting.
-
Local shops can be easily reached especially for the elderly and young people and
those without transportation.
-
Local shops value you more: These businesses survive by their reputation & repeat
business which means you get a higher standard of service.
-
Shopping local saves services: Private and public sector services cluster around
shops. As shops disappear, so do banks,restaurants & beauty salons.
