Whether you’re an individual or a business, there are a bunch of ways to become involved and support Shop Small Polk. All it takes is changing a single monthly purchase to support a business you believe in.
To participate this year:
SHOPPERS: Save the receipts of each of your purchases from small businesses (on Shop Small Saturday and even after). Take the pledge below, upload your receipts, and be entered to win awesome prizes.
SMALL BUSINESSES: Do you make partnering with small, local businesses a priority? Take the Small Business Pledge below and tell us how you prioritize partnering local. Then, we’ll spotlight your business!
492,935 adults enjoy life in Polk County, and 44,644 businesses serve communities in Polk County. If all of us changed just one $50 monthly buying decision to support a local business, it would add up to $24.6 million to our local economy every year!
If we all changed just one $500 monthly buying decision to support their local business friends, it would add up to $22 million to our regional economy each year! That adds up to $48.6 million that could potentially stay in Polk County.
Our vision is for everyone – consumers and businesses alike – to consciously choose goods and services that will strengthen our regional economy. With your support, we can make some waves!
As a small business or a shopper, you can commit to shopping small and support our local business community, by shopping small on Shop Small Saturday on November 28 and every day after that.
