How to Make Shopping Local Irresistible

Sandy Dubay, CEcD

Shopping locally shouldn't be a guilt trip. It should be an invitation.

In this bonus episode, we're flipping the script on how economic developers can activate year-round support for small businesses. Think: Buy Local Bingo cards, receipt challenges, and holiday gift guides that make shopping small feel like a treasure hunt, not a chore.

Whether you're looking to drive foot traffic during a spring slowdown or turn 500 employees into downtown ambassadors with a single gift card campaign, we've got strategies you can steal and deploy immediately.
