Are you a local business owner? Are you having to compete with large corporations, big box stores and national chains? Do you have limited advertising dollars to reach your customers? If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, then Shop Local Raleigh is a movement that supports your business.
Shop Local Raleigh promotes locally owned and operated businesses and works to educate consumers, business owners and the Raleigh community about the many benefits of spending locally. It’s a campaign backed by tens of thousands in local television and radio advertising each year. The Shop Local Raleigh web site features an online, searchable directory of local businesses, as well as a wealth of information on the economic, environmental and “feel-good” benefits of buying local.
