HomeA longtime client of mine called to thank me for the wonderful photos of their newborn daughter that I just took the other day, and also to begin the ordering process of birth announcements, photographs for relatives and albums. Rather than using any digital files for personal use to order things from ‘big-web’ mass merchandisers, she told me that her family is supporting local businesses in the area, and ordering everything through our studio. What an fabulous comment!
Small business makes up 70% of the nations economy and employs that much of the workforce. According to the SBA, depending on the business, you are classified as small if you employ under 750-1,000 employees! Those are still some pretty large businesses. But, look at all the ‘local small businesses’ just in the Mentor and surrounding area. There is almost any service or vendor available, for anything you need.
Our local economy in this upcoming year is going to make or break by the survival of local small business. Use their services and order products through them. Please support them, and tell them you are directly supporting them. I have begun the same! They’ll appreciate it and spread the word just like I am. Ordering online by mass merchandisers and importers is only taking money out of our local economy. Think Lemonade!
