• There's too much lip service to "support local". If you're ready to make a real impact, start here. By shifting $20 you would have spent at a big box store or chain restaurant, you can have a real impact.

    • WHAT IS KEEP LOCAL ALIVE?

      Let's start with what it is NOT. It is not another set of slogans and stickers to "shop local".

      The Keep Local Alive movement was launched to help small business owners in response to the COVID shutdowns. What started in one city slowly turned into two, then the following and impact snowballed from there. It inspired the founders to lay the groundwork to launch the movement in cities across the country.

      The MOVEment enables locals to rally around their local businesses in ways that have real, tangible impact. It is a message, a framework, and a set of tools that empower entire communities to support their most valuable assets: small businesses.

    • HOW DOES IT WORK?

      Keep Local Alive is a MOVEment that combines a message with actual tools, resources, and most importantly, passionate local people who want to keep their communities vibrant through supporting the locally-owned, independent businesses.

      It starts with a message but ends in ACTION

      SOCIAL MEDIA ENGINE + LOCAL PEOPLE WHO CARE

      It starts by launching a localized framework and social media engine. We then build a tribe of local-minded consumers who want to get involved. From there, local influencers are activated as Ambassadors and we start "Boosting" businesses weekly. Finally, we launch a co-marketing directory platform where all the local businesses can band together to enable locals to discover and support their local gems.

    • WHO IT HELPS

      Locally-owned (owner actually lives in the community), independent (not part of a franchise or corporation) businesses.

    • LOCAL BUSINESSES NEED US NOW MORE THAN EVER

      Local businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. Here are 5 reasons they deserve our support.

      LOCAL ECONOMY

      DOLLARS SPENT AT LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESSES RECIRCULATE IN THE COMMUNITY AT A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATE THAN CHAINS.

      UNIQUENESS

      THE INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES IN YOUR COMMUNITY ARE TRULY ONE-OF-A-KIND. THEY ARE THE OPPOSITE OF "COOKIE-CUTTER" AND GIVE OUR CITIES COLOR & CHARACTER

      DREAMERS

      ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS IN THE FABRIC OF AMERICA. NOBODY REPRESENTS THE ENTREPRENEURIAL DRIVE LIKE LOCALLY OWNED BRICK & MORTARS.

      EXPERIENCE

      BIG BOX STORES, ONLINE, AND FRANCHISES CAN'T REPLICATE THE ONE-ON-ONE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE YOU GET WITH LOCAL OWNERS.

      COMMUNITY

      DISCOVERING LOCAL GEMS, LEARNING ABOUT THE PEOPLE BEHIND THEM, AND SHARING WITH YOUR FRIENDS IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO BUILD COMMUNITY.
