In an effort to bolster its local economy and support small businesses, Gervais has officially launched the "Shop Local" campaign. The initiative, announced by Benson, encourages residents to prioritize local businesses when making their shopping decisions.
The "Shop Local" campaign aims to:
- Strengthen the Local Economy: By supporting small businesses, residents can help create jobs, stimulate economic growth, and ensure the prosperity of their community.
- Foster Community Connection: Shopping locally fosters a sense of community and allows residents to build relationships with local business owners and staff.
- Preserve Unique Character: Local businesses often offer unique products and services that contribute to the distinctive character of Gervais.
Mayor Benson emphasized the importance of this campaign, stating, "Our small businesses are the lifeblood of our municipality. They provide vital services, create jobs, and contribute to the unique charm of our community. By choosing to shop local, residents play an active role in shaping the future of our city."
To further incentivize local shopping, Gervais is collaborating with participating businesses to offer discounts, promotions, and special events throughout the campaign. Residents can stay informed about these opportunities through the municipality's website and social media channels.
The "Shop Local" campaign represents a collective effort to ensure the continued success and vitality of Gervais's small business community. It invites residents to explore the wealth of local offerings and make a positive impact on their local economy.
