this just makes sense...



The 3/50 Project is a wonderful new find.

3 What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

50 If half of the employed population spent $50 each month in a locally owned independent business, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 of the employed population did that.

68 For every $100 spent in locally independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1 The number of people it takes to start a trend...you.

PICK 3 SPEND 50. SAVE YOUR LOCAL ECONOMY.
