Take the time and think about what it means to you and how it could impact your community when you shop small this holiday season. Check out our list below of just a few reasons that may encourage you to shop small.
Support Your Neighbor
We love that downtown Madison is vibrant and welcoming, so let's keep it that way! You can support your neighbor and their business by liking and following their social media platforms or by encouraging friends and family to shop local!
Keep Your $$$ Local
Live. Work. Play. all in Madison. By keeping your money local, you are helping to sustain local jobs and services. By shopping locally, you know exactly where your money is going and see the jobs you are helping to support. "Every $100 spent locally, at least $68 of that stays here."
