PRESS RELEASE Shopping Local Brings in Cash for Local Shoppers The DRBBA is marking the kick-off of the 3/50 Project, a "Shop Local" program designed to raise awareness about the ways a Red Bluff resident's choice to shop at independently-owned businesses instead of chain or big box stores keeps money in the Red Bluff economy. Cinda Baxter, creator of the 3/50 Project, gives this clear example of the way local purchases benefit the community: "For every $100 spent in independently-owned stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. In a national chain only $43 stays here. Spend it on-line and nothing comes home." The 3/50 Project's premise is simple: • Choose three local businesses you would miss most if they were gone. • Spend $50/month between those three local businesses. ($50--not $150--is the TOTAL amount.) • Save your local economy. Sarah Rider, co-owner of Wink Fashion and Salon explains how the 3/50 rewards program works: "Participating businesses give 3/50 Project Cards to their customers. Every time a shopper makes a purchase a participating business, the cashier will sign and date the card. Once a customer collects three signatures within a 30 day period, she'll drop the card at the business where she made her last purchase and she will be automatically entered into a monthly drawing for a $25 cash prize. It's a way to show our customers we appreciate their choice to shop at our store-- And to show that it really matters to the community when they choose to keep their dollars in Red Bluff. " Amber Micke and Sophia Swarthout, also co-owners of Wink, expand on the appeal for local businesses. Swarthout says, "We are excited to recognize and reward our many loyal customers who already shop local first—and to welcome new customers to the unique collection of goods and services available right here in downtown Red Bluff." "It's easy to love local businesses," says Micke, "But making the choice to shop local first takes a conscious effort. We hope the 3/50 Project will remind shoppers that shopping locally makes a huge difference and that local businesses appreciate them." Thirty-seven businesses are currently participating in the 3/50 Project, but more are expected to join as the 3/50 Project and its Shop Local Rewards Program gains momentum. Rewards cards are available at participating businesses. Look for the "Locals Love you More" posters in the windows of participating businesses.
