The Buy Local Philosophy
www.BuyLocal.com, is THE “BuyLocal” web portal. BuyLocal blends online shopping with offline purchase. Shop online, find what you want, and then pick it up at a local brick and mortar store. BuyLocal.com defines a local business as either a locally owned and operated business or a locally operated chain business with a brick and mortar location.
There are two main reasons to “BuyLocal”: 1) It allows you to find the product or service you want at the locally operated stores nearest you at competitive prices and 2) You are supporting your local community by keeping dollars at work in your community rather than shipping them off to benefit people in other communities. It is a win win for you and for your community.
The Ultimate Shopping Experience
To make this process easier BuyLocal.com has developed a dedicated search engine customized to find the products and services you want at nearby local businesses. This is a different take on searching. We eliminate all of the random results that come with typical search engines. Our search engine lets you find locally operated businesses that carry what you are shopping for or businesses that offer services that you need or locally operated places where you can eat and lists them by distance from you. Our results don’t include online catalog stores, Wikipedia™ definitions of what LCD means or articles on what makes a TV an HDTV, or other extraneous and often irrelevant information. We just provide highly filtered results showing locally operated businesses that provide what you want. You can check prices, availability, and then go pick up the product right away at the locally operated store of your choice. Or you can call the store/restaurant, make an appointment, and arrange for your service all from the data listed in our search results.
Just “BuyLocal” at www.BuyLocal.com
For anything you need to buy you should first think “BuyLocal”. Before you go online to try and get the ultimate lowest price take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Before you buy online or from a mail order business or use an out of area service provider, think of the overall cost of what happens when you do not “BuyLocal”. Every non-local dollar you spend is a dollar lost which could have been used to support locally operated businesses and make your own community a better place to live. This goes much further than simply looking at the price of a single item or service. Quite simply, when you “BuyLocal” you are enhancing your own quality of life by making your own community a better place to live. “BuyLocal” and live better for having done so.
