Want your dollars to ACTUALLY make a difference? Shop local. Here's why it matters: Every $1 spent at a locally owned business recirculates through your community 2–4 times more than money spent at a chain or online retailer. That means more local jobs, more charitable giving, more wealth — right where you live. It's called the Local Multiplier Effect.   https://lnkd.in/gacVtTAQ Your spending is a vote for the community you want to live in. Make it count! https://lnkd.in/gESEGEpu #LocalMultiplier #DaneBuyLocalOfficial #ShopLocalMadison #SupportLocalWI #DaneCountyWI
