Save Your Economy

Save your local economy......

            Three stores at a time!


                                  the 3/50 project
                      Saving the Brick and Mortars our nation is built on



3          Think about which three independently owned businessses you'd miss most if they were gone. Stop in and say hello. Pick up a little something that will make someone smile. Your contribution is what keeps those businesses around.

50       If just half the U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.* Imagine the positve impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

68      For every $100 spent in independently owned stores, $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.


1          The number people it takes to start the trend .... You.


Pick 3. Spend $50. Save your local economy.
