Buy Local
Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s
business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store. In an
effort to promote your area, we are distributing decals that say “Check
us out at www.Downtown.sc,” in hopes that local shoppers will visit the
site to find local restaurants, clothing, specials, coupons and more. We
are doing our part, so please join us, and promote your local merchants,
and everyone will benefit!
Top Ten reasons to Think Local

Buy Local - Be Local – Help Local Businesses
1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and Charleston. Many studies

have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally owned
business in the your own area, rather than a nationally owned
businesses, considerably more of your money is used to make
purchases from other local businesses. Local businesses continue to
strengthen the economic base of the local community. These include
case studies showing that local local owned businesses generate a
premium in enhanced economic impact to the community and our tax
base.
2.Support Local Area Community Groups:

Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from
smaller Charleston area business owners than they do from large
companies.
3. Keep Your Area Unique: Where we shop, where we eat and

have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind local
businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character. Local tourism
businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally
seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not
just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation
Trust.
4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses

in your area can make more local purchases requiring less
transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl,
congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the

largest employer nationally and in the community, provide the most jobs
to local residents.
6. Receive Better Service: Local businesses often hire people

with a better understanding of the products and services they offer, and
take more time to get to know customers.
Cont. next page

7.Invest in Your Community: Local
businesses are owned by people who live
in this community, and they are less likely to
leave, and are more invested in the commu-
nity’s future.
8. Put your Taxes to Good Use:

Local businesses require a relatively little
infrastructure investment and make more ef-
ficient use of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering your area.
9. Buy What you Want, Not What

Big Advertising Budgets Want you
to Buy: A South Carolina marketplace
comprised of tens of thousands of small
businesses is the best way to ensure inno-
vation and low prices over the long-term. A
multitude of small businesses, each selecting
products and services based not on a national
sales plan but on their own interests and the
needs of their local customers, promises a
much broader range of product choices.
10. Promote Local Prosperity: An

escalating body of economic research shows
that in an increasingly homogenized world,
entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more
likely to invest and settle in communities that
preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and
distinctive character.

Neighborhoods
1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew up a long time ago.
Today, because of golf courses, shopping areas, subdivi-
sions, jobs, schools, and a transient society, a neighborhood
means different things to
different folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a dozen or so houses,

and be as many as thousands of homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, and perhaps close to uni-

versal, since most people in urbanized areas would probably
consider themselves to be living in one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and always accessible,

since you are already in your neighborhood when you walk
out your door.
5. Successful neighborhood action frequently requires little

specialized technical skill, and often little or no money. Action
may call for an investment of time, but material costs are
often low.
6. With neighborhood action, compared to activity on larger

scales, results are more likely to be visible and quickly forth-
coming. The streets are generally cleaner; the crosswalks
are painted; the trees are planted; a festival draws a crowd.
7. Visible and swift results are indicators of success; and

since success is reinforcing, the probability of subsequent
neighborhood action is increased.
8. Because neighborhood action usually involves others,

such actions create or strengthen connections and
relationships with other neighbors, leading in turn to a variety
of potentially positive effects, often hard to predict.
9. Over and above these community advantages, neighbor-

hood activity may simply be enjoyable and fun for those
taking part.
But in addition to these benefits, considerable research indi-

cates that strong and cohesive neighborhoods and communi-
ties are linked –quite possibly causally linked – to decreases
in crime, better outcomes for children, and improved physical
and mental health. The social support that a strong neigh-
borhood may provide can serve as a buffer against various
forms of adversity. Sometimes a neighborhood isn’t a neigh-
borhood until an event occurs, which draws people together,
to become “neighbors”.

There really are some incredible
chandeliers on the market now.
The designs are a lot softer and

think the overriding design
factor that most homeowners
are seeking is something that
says their home is warm,
inviting and comfortable.
