Simcoe County Shop Local
What does
Simcoe County Shop Local Mean to you?
Shopping
locally from independent business owners is how I can directly answer the
question that titles this blog. This
isn’t a new thing but it means so much more to me now than it even did a few years
ago. Before social media we relied on
word of mouth or the newspaper even. Not
exactly key to making a business thrive.
Personally I never paid much attention.
The
convenience of shopping at chain retailers is often an easy way out and often
times a more economic option. This all
depends on what you are looking for. The
big box stores have always had an advantage on marketing and we just know where
to buy stuff not only from their flyers, emails and radio ads but also from
frequenting them.
I truly did
not know much about SO many small independent businesses until I started paying
attention to Simcoe County Shop Local. AND
they aren’t necessarily any more expensive than what we are already used to
paying. You just have to be in the
know. Getting connected on social media
with various companies advertising their businesses is a massive step in the
right direction. You start to form a
culture of your own interests by ‘liking’ or ‘following’ various businesses. Simcoe County Shop Local is a fantastic
resource to get you started.
What I love
about Simcoe County Shop Local is that it is also about getting connected to
other people. Whether it is yourself as
a customer or another business owner.
Simcoe County’s size has grown exponentially and we just don’t know all
our neighbours anymore. Getting
connected to local businesses is a great way to form a sense of community.
There are
just so many businesses out there waiting to be discovered by you! Let us know if you are one of them and/or
we’d like to hear what Simcoe County Shop Local means to you!
