PhilosophyBuying local means to support your own community. It sparks creativity, innovation and a I can attitude. It allows individuals to feel like a big fish in a small pond. It brings story and meaning to the items we purchase. I show support by not purchasing from businesses that support overseas buying, manufacturing or hiring customer service in countries overseas. If I receive a telemarketing call, the first question I ask, is where are you located, if they do not answer or indicate another country, I simply tell them I am not interested in supporting businesses outside my community. |
