10 Benefits of Shopping Local
North carolina is a powerhouse for creating small businesses. In fact, according to the small
business
and technology development center, small businesses employed 1. 5 million people in 2014 — nearly half of the state’s private sector employment. Supporting local businesses helps to strengthen the region’s labor force, whether it’s shopping at a family-owned drugstore or using an independent accountant for your taxes. This is particularly true since the passage of the affordable care act, which has helped small businesses compete for the best talent against big box retailers who are often able to offer better health benefits packages.
One of the benefits of shopping local is that you’ll find unique, diverse products – and you’ll want to share them. Post a picture on your instagram or share the business’ facebook page. Word of mouth is the most powerful marketing tool.
2. It’s better for the environment by helping reduce your carbon footprint
For people who want to reduce their carbon footprints, shopping can present a dilemma. Is it greener to visit a physical store, to have that store deliver an order or to place one with an online -only retailer? the answer depends on several factors. In a new attempt to compare the greenhouse gas emissions associated with each shopping method, researchers have quantified how often one option ends up being better for the environment than another. In most cases, delivery from a local store wins out—but this result can vary. “we used a probabilistic approach—actually, that was one of the novelties of our work,” says study co-author sadegh shahmohammadi, an environmental scientist at radboud university in the netherlands.
3. You help support local businesses
Irish wheelchair association calls on local authorities and businesses to keep access open for shoppers with disabilities, as it launches its christmas appeal as christmas approaches, irish wheelchair association is asking local authorities and businesses to keep their pathways and disability parking clear for shoppers in wheelchairs and their families, as lockdown ends. The association has made the call as it launches its christmas appeal, which supports youth clubs, bus services and social club activities for people with physical disabilities across ireland. According to joan carthy of irish wheelchair association: “it’s great to see our towns and communities reopening again and so many of our members are keen to get out and about to restock after lockdown and get their christmas shopping done.
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, consumer behaviour has changed, with more shoppers seeing their local food shops and independent businesses in a new light. Support for independents has soared as they showed their value in terms of their unique offering, first-rate shopping experience and convenience for the customer. This retail trend will not peter out – in fact, recent research by thoughtworks found that only half of britons (49%) expect to buy their food from supermarkets or major retailers in the future.

We all know the importance of shopping local and have seen the posts online or articles in the paper urging us to shop and support local businesses and this year it's more important than ever. The covid crisis has put many small irish businesses under major pressure and now that we are in level 5 once more many have had to close or reduce their services to allow for the ‘new normal’. Local businesses are at the heart of our communities, they provide vital services and employment and they really need our help to stay going this year and we all know it's so much better to be handing over money to local businesses and not big online giants.
