It takes many hands to steer a ship.....
A recent survey by Main Street America found that almost 60% of small businesses saw a revenue decrease of MORE THAN 75%. And that was as of April 2020. Certainly, as we small business owners know, things are likely worse now. Millions of SMBs anticipate closing permanently withing the next few months.
We know that Small Business contributes over 44% to our national economy. The number is an average, and small communities, like the Treasure Coast, have an even higher percentage. How we, as a community, spend our dollars can have a direct impact on the depth and breadth of our recovery.
#MyMoneyStaysLocal is an effort to raise awareness for how important it is to spend locally. Discover your "Number" by calculating how much of your expenses go back into our economy. Calculate for your business AND your personal spending. Then, set a goal for yourself. How much can you raise your number next month?
You have a powerful message to share with your customers, employees, friends and family when you include them in your messaging on social media, email, in-store that shows your support for local businesses. Challenge your vendors to do the same.
SeaShell Digital has a great number yet there is still room for improvement. My personal number, however, needs a lot of work!
