As consumers – it’s only natural that we default to the obvious. Large Corporations have the financial resources necessary to dominate advertising in all forms of media, which means our subconscious minds are trained to associate these brands to products we’re shopping for.
Choosing to shop with a big box store is no guarantee that you’ll receive the type of service or attention to detail that you’ll get from local, family-owned business such as ours.
FLEXIBILITY
One might assume that big chains offer the best products and the lowest price. Whilst there are many loss leading items that independent retailers simply cannot compete against, we have access to a vast array of items through our dealer networks and more importantly, have the flexibility to tailor each transaction to the specific needs of the customer. In short – special orders – are our specialty.
In the context of Home Improvement – it’s no wonder Home Depot is a popular choice for many, but does that mean it’s the right choice for you, your project, your wallet – and the local economy?
Our latest feature is all about getting you to Think Outside The Box – and highlighting the many advantages of choosing a local independently owned specialist retailer over a big chain.
WHY BUY LOCAL?
Buying Local is good for your community. When compared to big chains, local businesses circulate more of your money into the local economy, they have a smaller impact on our environment and create more employment opportunities. They also contribute to the unique character of our neighbourhoods.
Local Businesses are owned by your neighbours. They make the big decisions, keep the money you spend in your community, and strive to source local products and services.
HOW TO BUY LOCAL?
Buying local is a simple choice that we can all make everyday to have a huge affect on our economy and community. If we shift just 10% of our household spending to local businesses, we can create $4.5 billion in local economic activity.
