The Community Benefits of Supporting Small Businesses

Like they’re at each city, town and village in India, at mom and pop stores. They’re the neighbourhood chaiwala that remembers your order, the artisan creating bespoke jewels . But in a world wide web wolf world like this, these adorable little lambs don’t stand a chance. But your purchasing decisions do matter. When you support small business India, you’re not simply backing a movement, you’re backing our villages’ triumphs. So when we shop local, we’re opting to uplift our neighbors and create a more vibrant future — together.

 The economic chain reaction: where your purchase creates community wealth

So, each rupee you spend at a local, small business, has a strong’ish ripple effect, as it goes back into the community. Unlike the big global conglomerates who siphon their profits offshore, a great deal of the revenue a small business generates stays right here at home. These dollars pay their employees who, in turn, spend their pay checks at other local merchants. Not only does it allow them to support local business and support the local tax base which supports schools and infrastructure etc. This is the basis for a robust, vibrant local economy.

THAT’S HOW YOUR SUPPORT CHANGES THINGS.

● Job Creation — Small businesses are one of the number one job creators, employing local people and reducing unemployment in your area.

● Economic Growth: The more solid our local economy is, the better we all do. For more on the importance of MSMEs in India's growth, you can read this report by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises.

● Diversity & Innovation: Small businesses bring a variety of unique products and services to the market, fostering a culture of creativity and innovation.

● Buying from a small business is never just a transaction. It’s a vote for what kind of community you wish to live in. It’s a way of saying you appreciate small batch, craft, sweat and the human being behind the product.

 Navigating this new digital age – enter ‘shop local online’.

For years, one of the hardest things for little businesses was to get exposure. But the digital revolution altered the terrain. Launched today, the shop local online initiative is helping shoppers like never before find and buy from small merchants, wherever they are. This digital transition is crucial. It provides craftsmen and business people in small villages with the same platform to sell their wares as people in big cities – on a national or even international scale. It breaks down geographic borders and brings you a global bazaar of one-of-a-kind handcrafts that you just aren’t going to see on a mass-market merchandizing site.

This forges a human connection and a legitimacy that’s impossible for a faceless company.) It’s the story behind every product–the late nights, the grind, the vision.
