The numbers are staggering
• Studies1 indicate non-profit groups receive 250%—350% more support from local businesses like us, than non-locally owned businesses.
• Local businesses like us are the largest employer and providing the most new jobs.
• Economic research proves that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.
• There is a 7X economic multiplier impact to every $1 spent. The question is: where will that impact be realized?

Proving why stimulus dollars should be spent at home
• The US Chamber of Commerce1 indicates money is spent and re-spent seven times
• When spent locally, a larger percentage stays in the community and you take greater advantage of the “economic multiplier”
• For every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $45 stays in the local economy, creating jobs and expanding the city tax base. For every $100 spent at a national chain/franchise, only $14 remains in the community2.

Example $600 PC purchase
Local:
• 80% goes to regional component distribution, a portion of which stays local
• 20% pays local employees who pay local taxes, utilities, food, etc.
• Multiplies economic value by 7X
Non-local:• Only 8–10% stays local
• About 90% goes out of state or country, negating the economic stimulus impact

Aging systems aren’t worth it
• Most of an IT budget is spent maintaining existing, in some cases aging and inefficient systems, that consume too much power, space, and maintenance for the performance they deliver
• Spending smart can contain costs. A PC refresh can cut operating costs by up to one third1.
• A new mainstream business desktop has two times the performance of a three-year-old mainstream desktop2.
• Today’s servers (vs. systems purchased just a few years ago) provide a 9X performance increase in the same footprint, giving you payback in just 8 months3.
• Investing in IT and broadband increases efficiency, creates economic value and employment, and has proven ROI

Set-Up: • Ten locally owned businesses outside
of Chicago and compared with ten national chains in the same sector
Results: • Spending $100 at a local business
creates $68 in additional local economic activity, while spending $100 at a national business produces only $43 worth of local impact.
• For every square foot of space occupied by a chain, the local economic impact is $105, compared to $179 for every square foot occupied by an independent business.

Set-Up: • Studied local business spending habitsResults: • Local businesses spend 44.6% of
revenue within the surrounding two counties and additional 8.7 percent within the state, primarily on:
- Local employee wages and benefits - Local goods and services - Profits that accrued to local owners - Local and state taxes
• Conversely, a national retailer operating in mid-coast Maine returned just 14.1 percent of its revenue to the local economy, mostly through payroll. The rest flowed to out-of-state suppliers or corporate headquarters.

Set-Up: • Studied local restaurant spending patterns
and impactResults: • Local restaurants return over 56% of
revenue to the local economy as wages, goods and services purchased locally, profits, and donations; chain restaurants return only 37%
• $1 million spent at local restaurants generates over $900,000 in additional local economic activity and supports 15 jobs; the same amount at chain restaurants producers only $600,000 and supports only 10 jobs

Set-Up: • Studied local business spending
habitsResults: • Local businesses buy more local
goods and services and employ more local people because they have no headquarters staff elsewhere
• If residents redirected just 10% of their spending from chains to local business, $192 million in additional economic activity would be generated in San Francisco with almost 1,300 new jobs1.
