$1, 0 0 0, 0 0 0 // Its been incredible watching how local small businesses have pivoted + adjusted to being closed, contactless pickup, offering gift cards, gift boxes so that they can continue to serve you but help #stopthespread
Let's do some quick math to break down how small actions can create BIG impact.
There are 429k households in Ottawa (with multiple people per home).
If only 10% of those households (So 43k) spend $25 at a local small business this week (order online, food takeout, local baker or chocolatier for Easter, brewery, hire an artist)- it would keep over $1M in the hands of entrepreneurs in your community.ย
$25 is easy peasy to spend (I got my eye on one of those delish Farinella pizzas yo).
For One Million Dollars. $1,072,500 to be exact.
Chances are that for a lot of them, with the reduced revenue this income will go towards them cover expenses like rent, software, insurance, wifi/phone, supplies, staff. Are you up for the challenge? Tag your favourite local biz ๐๐ป that youโre going to support this week.
By shopping local you're helping your favourites make it through this. Every little cha-ching these local entrepreneurs hear on their phones is beyond a sigh of relief. And that's all you. Your support and your passions for community.
