By: nanZoriginal “This will have a major impact in our community” said Bradley. The website, which is still in its infancy, is the first public step of a grassroots marketing campaign along with social media, email campaigns, and a blog. The site, RelyLocal.com/ Getting the message out is an important step for RelyLocal. These campaigns are very beneficial because they bring local businesses together. "We still have a significant amount of work to do but we are very excited about it and its potential impact on our economy," said Bradley. A part of RelyLocal's campaign strategy is an advertising co-op which allows local businesses to do more traditional marketing and advertising (radio, television, billboard and print) more cost effectively and efficiently. OUR GOALS • Educate city residents on how buying locally supports city services and general operations by generating sales tax revenue. • Partner with local merchants to help shoppers choose local vendors and suppliers to support and sustain the business community and local economy. WHAT CAN YOU DO? 1. Support local businesses in Matthews, Mint Hill, Indian Trail and surrounding communities by purchasing products and services here, instead of driving elsewhere, buying online, or from big-box merchants. When the cost of gas, time and energy is factored into the price, you are better served buying locally. 2. Visit your community farmer’s market for fresh, locally grown produce. Not only is it better for your family, but it supports local growers. 3. Shop for big ticket items locally, such as vehicles, appliances, boats, RVs, etc. The amount of tax on these items significantly impacts the city reserves and could save a community program, plant a park, or fill a pothole. You can help support local businesses by displaying a RelyLocal window decal in your business window or on your car. Your support will help generate awareness and help spread the message about supporting local businesses in our community.
