As parents of tweens, we are always on the lookout for new brands and products. Whether it’s clothing, food, or household items, we want the best for our families. While it may be tempting to always choose big-name brands and stores, we want to introduce you to some of the benefits of supporting local businesses.
When we support local brands and businesses, we not only help them succeed, but also benefit other local businesses. Here are just some reasons highlighting the importance of supporting local brands and how it directly impacts your overall community.
Boosts Local Economy
Choosing a locally made product or buying from a local business means that more of your money stays within your country and community. Local businesses often buy supplies and services from other businesses within the community, and as this money circulates, it also boosts the local economy. This keeps the community strong and thriving. We understand how much cheaper importing can be, but we as Tweenoogy choose to create, buy and support local, helping our economy where we can.
Sustainable Living
Many local businesses focus on sustainable practices, such as using eco-friendly materials, reducing waste, and conserving energy. By purchasing from local brands that prioritize sustainability, you also contribute to the overall environmental efforts in your area. We as Tweenology often try to reduce our use of plastic (hence the glass) and find ways we can help do out bit.
Connect with Your Community
One of the best things about supporting local brands is the opportunity to connect with those you support. By attending local markets or engaging with local businesses, you'll get to know the people behind the products. This enhances your sense of community, connection and boosts community engagement. We love to hear from you, and hope you love to hear from us:). We always welcome your feedback, comments and suggestions and encourage you to chat to us whenever you feel like it!
Better Customer Service
Local businesses often have a personal connection with their customers. They remember your name, your preferences, and they care about your satisfaction. With local brands, you often receive a more personalized and friendly approach to customer service, which can lead to a better overall shopping experience. We love knowing you on a personal level, your child, their routine, problems, dreams, aspirations etc. We can assure you that you are not just a number for us! We try and get to know our customers as best we can.
Opportunity for Innovation
Supporting local brands means supporting diversity in the market. Businesses often have unique products and approaches, which can bring in fresh perspectives and products. By purchasing from local brands, you help to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in your community, and your support definitely allows us to get inspired to do more. We have wonderful products in the pipeline and cant wait for you to see them! Watch this space!
In conclusion, supporting local brands and businesses is essential. Not only do you help to boost the local economy, but you also contribute to environmental sustainability, connect with your community, receive better customer service, and promote innovation.
