Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy.

the 3/50 project.  Saving the brick and mortars our nation is build on…

What three independently owned business would you miss if they disappeared?  Stop in.  Say hello.  Pick up something that brings a smile.  Your purchases are what keep those businesses around.

50 If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.*  Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 the population did that.

68 For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.  If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here.  Spend it online and nothing comes here.

The number of people it take to start the trend….you.

Pick 3.  Spend 50.  Save your local economy.
