Support Local – We Double Dog Dare You!

For this holiday season, the Chamber is issuing a “Gift With Purpose” challenge to community members to support local by purchasing at least ONE gift from a Logan County business. It’s no secret; we know everyone shops online at Amazon and big retailers for Christmas gifts. But if we each bought a single $20 gift from a local retailer, we could boost small business sales by over $700,000. Imagine what that could do for a small business owner! These are the individuals who are supporting our community right back by sponsoring sports teams, donating to local charities, and volunteering for local causes.

If you accept the Gift with Purpose challenge, here’s how to participate:

• Between November 4 and December 24, buy at least one gift from a small business in Logan County. We think you’ll be amazed at what you can find at local stores!
• Most retailers will have “I Supported Local” tags to fill out with your name to show your community that you support local businesses.
  1. The first 250 tags will be displayed throughout the holiday season at the Chamber office in downtown Bellefontaine – so make your purchase early!
  2. If you include your phone number or email address on the back of the tag, you’ll be entered to win one of our prizes of a Chamber Choice Check. Prize winners will be selected on December 18.
• Our “I Supported Local” frames will be rotating between retailers all season. Take a photo with the frame and your purchase and tag the Chamber for an additional entry into the prize drawing!

So go ahead – support local and gift with purpose this season!
