  • Over $9.3 billion would be directly returned to our economy if every US family spent just $10 a month at a local business.
  • Businesses with fewer than 500 employees account for 99.7% of all US employers.
  • 108 million shoppers spent $12.9 billion on Shop Local Day.
  • Small businesses donate 250% more than large businesses to community causes.

However, the returns for their businesses, as they enjoy the referrals would greatly justify that expense.
