Buy Local

January 15th, 2012

The West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority and Community Redevelopment Agency are proud to present BUY LOCAL.  We want YOU to get excited about shopping in Downtown West Palm Beach and in Northwood Village.

Top 5 Reasons to Buy Local

1. You invest in YOUR community.

For every $100 you spend at one of our local businesses, $68 will stay in the community.

2. You help reduce our Carbon Footprint.

Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases thus requiring less transportation. This reduces automobile use, habitat loss and air and water pollution.

3. You create jobs.

The better our businesses do, the more they will grow, expand and have a need to hire hard-working people from our community.

4. You inspired creativity and your neighbor’s dreams. Entrepreneurship is the foundation of the American economy.  When you buy from local businesses it helps them succeed and continue to dream big.

5. You make a difference.

Local business owners have a vested interest to continue to beautify the area, Not only are you helping entrepreneurs and small businesses, you are also helping non-profit organizations because they receive an average of $250 more support from smaller business owners than from large businesses.

Added Bonus: Spend $25 or more in Downtown WPB or in Northwood and receive a free Buy Local tee or tote bag! Simply bring your same receipt to the DDA office, 301 Clematis St. Suite 200.
