"Hello there! It's been a while; I'm excited to tell you something awesome.
But first, let me ask you… What comes to mind when you think of local products?
Good? Bad? Sadly, the common notion is mediocre quality; this may be true in some cases however I'll tell you what I discovered.
Listen to this; there's a movement happening, a revolution of some sorts.
This movement moves us away from the big suppliers, retailers or chains.
Now we get a chance to be introduced to real people doing business in the communities. How exciting, is that?
Now here's the fun part, do you know that when we support local entrepreneurs we get tons of benefits we don't get to experience from corporations?
Yes, tons!
1. Local can be good for you - local products are usually made out of organic or chemical free ingredients; some are even handmade or customized to your liking; it's 100% made with love!
2. Local is good for the country - when we buy local, money stays within the community; we get to help our own people and we get to support various advocacies.
3. Local introduces locals - who wouldn't want to know more people, make friends, know their stories and collaborate?
4. Local is unique - local businesses give that distinct flavor in the community; it makes it truly like no other and shows character and soul.
5. Local makes for better and personalize service - with local brands, you have access to the people behind it (like me!); I get to know you, you get to know me; with this, it's easier and faster to let me know what you need and for me to provide and understand you better.
Did that excite you? I can go on and on about the benefits of going local but now it's time you experience it yourself.
