Shop Local Temple

11/7/2020

0 Comments

 
​The COVID-19 outbreak has taken a toll on our families, friends, and neighbors. It has resulted in difficult times for many of our local businesses, which are vital and unique to our community. Early on in the pandemic, some industries were mandated to close temporarily, others had to scale back, and many have changed their operations completely.
 
As we enter the holiday season, and potentially another wave of COVID-19 cases, we must continue to support the local businesses who create the fabric and character of our community. It is easy to rely on online shopping in a time like this, but we have to think of the long-term consequences of a quick online checkout.
 
According to the Small Business Economic Impact Study, consumers’ local impact during the holiday shopping season is significant because an average of $0.67 of every dollar spent at local businesses stays in the local community.
 
Looking at that bigger picture, think how those dollars spent in the greater Temple area make our community a little better. The local businesses where you shop, dine, or play, employ our family, friends, and neighbors. They pay taxes, which help to provide essential services like police, fire and rescue, infrastructure improvements, schools, and parks. Local businesses also support various local clubs, teams, and events. 
Picture
This holiday shopping season, we encourage you to shop and buy local with Temple Chamber Members. Be sure to check out our Temple Chamber Member directory at web.templechamber.com/allcategories.
 
When visiting local establishments, be sure to wear a face-covering and adhere to social distancing guidelines. Plus, here are a few other ways to safely support local business:
  1. Order Takeout or Delivery – many of our local restaurants have found a way to continue safely serving during this difficult time. Many have curbside pickup or even delivery options. Now is a perfect time to order from your favorite restaurant or to try somewhere new!

  2. Order Ahead – simplify your transactions by placing your order before arriving. Many businesses are offering an option to purchase goods or services through their social media, via a phone call, or through email. Ordering ahead will shorten your exposure time to others and lessen the risk for everyone involved.

  3. Purchase Gift Cards – support your favorite business by purchasing a gift card now to use later.

  4. Write Positive Reviews – Write positive reviews of your favorite local businesses on Facebook, Google, and Yelp.

  5. Utilize Social Media – Like, Follow, Comment, Share – help spread the news of your local businesses to your friends and followers!
 
Local business owners are our family members, friends, and neighbors; they are our community, and they need our support now more than ever before.
