NLBOA Supports The 3/50 Project

This project encourages shoppers to stop by three local retailers throughout the month and spend $50. Read more, courtesy of the350project.org:

3: What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

50: If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 the employed population did that.

68: For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, ony $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1: The number of people it takes the start the trend...you.

NLBOA signed up to support the "Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy" idea.
