Our friend Rob Hatch sent me a link to Do the math with your gas, about keeping your gas cost down by shopping locally. It immediately made me think of your small town, shop local campaign. This is a great new reason to mention when promoting the benefits of shopping locally.
You do have a shop local campaign, right? Whether it’s your own business, or your whole community, you need to be reminding people why to buy from you in your small town.

Hi Becky! Leave it to Rob to be yet ANOTHER connection between you and me! :)
Thanks for the link (through Third Tribe). Great info here! Subscribing to your RSS now as I still have a lot to learn RE: my http://tnbuylocal.com/ campaign!
Excellent resource, Becky!
We love your step-by-step guide and are recommending it as a resource to the communities that are running their shop local campaigns with the ShopCity.com platform.
Keep up the great work!
Colin
