People are encouraged Wednesday, April 7, to participate in the annual “The Great American Buy Local Day” initiative, to support local businesses, the communities they serve, and tens of millions of people they employ.
The campaign encourages everyone to continue to support businesses that might just be opening back up amid the pandemic, are expanding services, or trying to prepare for a relaunch, according to a news release from the Maine State Chamber of Commerce.
People can support local businesses by shopping online, buying gift cards, utilizing services of essential companies, referring a friend, or leaving a positive review online.
What is that?
It is EXACTLY what it sounds like! The local chambers of commerce are encouraging people to continue to support local business. Let’s face it for most local businesses the last year has been….hard. When you support local businesses, you support the community and the people those business employees.
How can I help?
You can go and do business with a local place…eat in a local restaurant, buy a gift card or use that service. You can do something as easy as leaving a positive review for a business you like or just share some positive experiences about local businesses on your social media or with a friend.
