Think Local First is a campaign with a simple objective: to instill in the local populace a feeling of necessity to, when out shopping, think local first.

When you’re going out to a restaurant, in the need of a service, or even when shopping online, think local first.

The marketing of this campaign includes local print, television, radio, outdoor media, and posters and signs. And now you can get involved.

As a Chamber member, feel free to use the Think Local First logo in your place of business, your advertising, or anywhere you feel it will help. Your participation will help make the campaign stronger and will help your business and the local economy.

Also available are posters printed by the Chamber that can have the name of your company followed by “supports Think Local First.” The poster, $10 for Chamber members and $20 for non-members, is intended as a window display. Call Stephanie at 454-1700 ext. 1022 for more information.

For further information regarding the Think Local First campaign contact Charles S. North at ext. 1008. In the meantime, think local first.
