3/50

The 3/50 Project was designed to stimulate local economy and create an opportunity for small businesses to be stronger in clientele. It encourages customers to pick just three local small businesses and spend fifty dollars. It has been proven that when $100 are spent, $68 of that stays local. This is in comparison to only $43 from national chains, and zero when bought online. This will generate upwards of 43 billion dollars in extra revenue. This is a call to action. You as the customer must be willing to shop local.

The 3/50 Project is another great resource for small businesses. In my personal life, the business I work for, is a part of this. It really does help, more than one would expect. Working in conjunction with Small Business Saturday as well, gives these store owners a chance to survive,
