In this increasingly global economy, keeping your hometown, or the vacation town you love thriving gets more difficult every year.  The downtown commercial district is comprised of unique businesses, either independently owned by run by locally-owned franchises.  These “Mom & Pop” businesses are fighting hard to stay in business in the face of competition from big box stores and giant corporate discounters.

Supporting Downtown businesses minimizes the chance of having the small historic shopping and dining district disappear. The alternative is empty storefronts, run-down streets, marginal, transient businesses and the loss of shops, restaurants and services in town.  Encourage your own friends, families and co-workers to support downtown businesses buying them Downtown Gift Certificates.

Supporting a small hometown economy keeps the money flowing locally. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, from each $100 profit at a locally owned, independent business, $ 60 stays right in the community to help keep the downtown strong… but only $6 from the $100 profit remains in the community from national discount stores.  Downtown businesses are more likely to produce local income, jobs, tax receipts, and charitable donations for the local community.
