"The mission of getslocal is to empower individuals and communities by providing a fair and innovative trade exchange system that prioritizes local and sustainable economic development. Through our loyalty and capacity exchange program, we strive to build stronger, more resilient communities by connecting individuals and small businesses based on their unique strengths and resources."
Why is buying local so important? Well shopping local helps maintain the circulation of currency throughout your community, and much like a river if you begin to redirect the water (aka spend your money elsewhere) the river as you know it, changes. This often times has unintended consequences that dramatically affect the ecosystem. The same is true for our communities, towns, and cities. Without a robust circular local economy; communities, towns, and cities are doomed to becoming a ghost town.
Getslocal helps small businesses retake market share back from the large corporations by providing tools that sustain the circulation of dollars within the local economy. Getslocal achieves this by facilitating its unique Coalition Loyalty and Capacity Exchange network. In practice it’s two programs designed to incentivize businesses or consumers for choosing to spend their dollars locally vs at a big box retailer or online giant.
