In today's economically challenging times, we are all pinching pennies! I will be starting a series of posts that will profile Las Vegas Small Businesses and their owners.
When many people think "boutique" or "small business" they automatically think "EXPENSIVE". You have to just be "resourceful". Many people have come to the conclusion that there is NO SUCH thing as "MADE IN THE USA" anymore. They feel they need to buy foreign made goods in large corporate owned businesses because there is no alternative.
:Game show buzzer: The above paragraph is FALSE! Every local community has ARTISTS and EXPERTS at their crafts (product or service!) You can find these people selling their US made goods on Ebay, their own website or craft shows.
Shopping, eating or getting health services from a large corporate chain is just plain CONVENIENT to save time but not necessarily money.
5) Customer Service: Small businesses give phenomenal customer service and it is awesome to go somewhere where "everyone knows your name"!
4) Tax Base: Help keep your taxes low by keeping your money local!
3) Variety: When there is a demand for local goods and services, the more new shops and stores you will find open and you will enjoy a variety!
2) Employment: Small businesses are the backbone of our entire country's economy. Help create more jobs in your area!
1) Keep Your Money LOCAL! When your money is spent on goods and services locally, the money gets spent, in return, to other local businesses.
Join me on my journey of Las Vegas Area Small Business Profiles to learn more about the Small Business providers who make a difference in our community!
