Promote locally-made products
Core idea
The movement to 'go local' is the opposite of big-box shopping. The rise of the conscious consumer and the desire to support local products and brands has helped to increase small business revenue.
Pro tip
- Local business generates 70% more local economic activity per square foot than big box retail. So selling locally produced products not only helps you, but it can help the broader economy of your community.
- You don't have to sell items. If that doesn't work well for your store, consider to showcase and integrate locally-made items into your interior.
