It is a great joy and wonder to live in the beautiful state of Alaska. As such, it is the responsibility of the residents to ensure its cities are supported properly. One of the best ways to do this is to shop locally. When buying online, the cost of your goods promotes the welfare of other states or countries. By purchasing from local businesses, such as restaurants or printing services, you are helping build up your community.

The Spider Web Effect

If, for example, having your business cards printed at a local printing service, you may think you are only helping those directly behind the counter. However, purchasing from your own community creates a spider web effect. In essence, a chain reaction occurs. Not only are you supporting the printing business, but you are also benefiting the paper supplier they purchase from. Delivery companies, equipment distributors, and designers are all compensated from that single purchase. This spreads wealth throughout the entire city instead of staying within a single organization.

When ordering a product online, you are taking a risk that what you see may not be what you get. Shopping locally, however, guarantees a certain level of quality. You can see, touch, and test out your product in person within the shop. Likewise, many family-owned businesses have generations of experience backing them. This kind of expertise is the result of a passion that translates into excellence. Always ask a vendor if their work is done locally. Some brick and mortar stores still outsource many of their goods. Look for a business that orders and makes all their products in Alaska.

 

Buying locally is an excellent way to support your community. If you’re looking to create posters, brochures, flyers, or any form of promotional products, head to Northern Printing.
