Cambridge Local First

Description

• Cambridge Local First is a network of locally owned and independent businesses formed in October 2005 to build a strong Cambridge economy and a vibrant community.We do this by:Raising the awareness of consumers, businesses, and government agencies about the benefits of purchasing from locally owned businesses.Bringing together independent businesses for mutual benefit and networking opportunities.Supporting Cambridge ordinances and regulations that promote locally owned businesses. Why do we do it?In an era of global economy and outsourcing, businesses and customers are becoming increasingly separated from each other and from their communities. When consumers buy from large chain retailers or big box stores, only 35 cents of each dollar spent, on average, remains in the communitythe rest goes to outside interests, corporate headquarters, or overseas. Large national or multinational corporations, because of the vast scope of their business, tend to show little concern for the environment, sustainable business practices, or the overall quality of life in a given community. Fortunately, consumers have an alternative. By supporting independent, locally-owned businesses, they can keep 58% more of each dollar in the local economy, and form long-term relationships with local businesses who are invested in their customers and their communityand this is just the beginning.
