Save Our Local
Economy Three Stores at a Time
Press
Release
March
16, 2010 –
Southport, North Carolina (NC) - It is a simple idea but yet so
powerful. “Pick 3, spend 50, save your local economy”. The
Southport Oak Island Area Chamber Of Commerce initiated this
national campaign locally as a way to remind residents that our
local independent business appreciate their business and local
support will save our local economy. The 3/50 Project also reminds
residents that supporting local independent businesses is good for
them as well. For every $100 spent in independently owned
businesses, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and
other expenditures. Therefore, keeping resident tax burden lower.
Spend it online and nothing comes home.

Chamber Of Commerce has also teamed up with Brunswick Catch, a

restaurant owners committed to bring you the best local
seafood. They will provide local merchants a bookmark flyer that

Phil & Anna Robinson for Shrimp Gravy.

Chamber Of Commerce encourages you to look around our business
community and pick three independently owned businesses you do not
want to see go out of business and spend a combined $50 a month in
these businesses. Then help spread the word “Pick 3, spend 50, save
your local economy.” You really can make a difference.
