Buy Local Ocala/MarionJoin the effort to keep our dollars in Ocala/Marion County to help boost our economy and lower unemployment.Last updated: 2010/04/16 | Published by: Evelio Silvera
Save Time. Save Jobs. Buy Local! The Buy Local initiative is an public outreach and marketing project of the Ocala/Marion Chamber of Commerce. This intiative is focused on both the retail and procurement sides of buying local. Retail efforts have included a public eduaction camapign, business expo, resources and materials for distribution and an online directory of businesses. Our procurement efforts have led to local preference and contract opportunties with both city and county government. How consumers spend their dollars is a driving force in our local economy – a force we can bring to bear for increased economic vitality. Building a program that allows the Chamber to be the leading voice in the community for the benefits of buying local is the goal. How well we are able to do this, and enlist and assist our retailers in educating consumers will be the key determinant in the program’s level of success. Discounts
