This helps cut down on the extra purchases and addi-tional “stuff” you don’t really have a use for. Keeping local owners in business also fosters a competitive entre-preneurial environment that will improve quality in the

long run, decrease costs and rejuvenate our precious downtowns.

GROWTH FOR ALLAs local businesses grow, so

does their ability to create

more products and improve their service, all at less expense to the consumer. This can mean growth for the business, as well as for your wallet.

In many cases, you can find the same product at your

local store for the same price as the big box, saving you time and money.

RIPPLE EFFECTSmall-business owners

have a tendency to buy

supplies locally and use local services for their business needs. When an independent business owner needs a vehicle maintained or a haircut, he or she is more likely to spend money on local services, according to The American Small Business Coalition.

This means your money actually touches many of the local businesses in your area one by one, helping enhance your economy for years to come.

DEALS, DEALS, DEALS

Local shops are focusedless on the mega deals that actually can cost you more in the long run. But this doesn’t mean they aren’t in the business of giving deals.Many independent retailers provide discounts to those who live nearby, helpingyou save money insteadof paying more in tourist taxes that some out-of-townestablishments maycharge.

Some local businesses boast price-matching pro-grams, as well. Ask your local owners if they are willing to match deals you find at other businesses. Their answer may surprise you – and help you save money.

When it comes to iconic Moscow businesses, there are few who can match Hodgins Drug and Hobbies for uniqueness and staying power.

A landmark near the corner of Third Street and Main, Hodgins -- family owned and operated -- has been making kids smile and the community healthier since 1890. “We sell toys out the front door and drugs out the back,” the owners and staff like to say.And they do both very well. The pharmacy is staffed by experienced and knowledgeable folks who pride themselves on the best customer service. They offer testing, fitting and repairs on hearing aids in all makes and models. On the toy side, there are few equals in the region. Hodgins prides itself on providing the Palouse with classic, unique and educational toys. They have the region’s largest selection of Lego, Playmobil and Melissa and Doug toys, and their employees enjoy the challenge of locating hard-to-find and retro items. Hodgins has recently expanded its hobby and games selection in the “basement of dreams” including Warhammer and Magic.

Hodgins employees, 12 of your neighbors and friends, and can be reached at (208) 882-5536. Hours are 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday and noon - 4 p.m. Sunday.

SHOP LOCAL | SUPPORT

Boost Your Economy

Compare that to $40 at non-locally owned establish-ments and zero dollars when you buy online, and your shopping priorities should be crystal clear.

LOCAL IMPACTMore money staying put in your area means more

funding for your schools, roads and hospitals. Tax revenue created from local purchases goes back into community improvements and new development opportunities.

In short, your money plays a major role in enhancing your daily life and the lives of those around you – depending on where you spend it.

Additionally, small-business owners are more likely to make social investments in the community by volun-teering at their child’s school, donating to local charities and hosting fundraising events, according to The American Small Business Coalition. Doing so allows these entrepreneurs to ingrain themselves into their communities and make it known that they are sensitive to the needs of those around them.

From local music groups to youth sports teams, small-business owners are quick to offer their sponsor-ship and money to help support community groups. This helps create customer buy-in for business owners, as well as a reputation for genuinely caring about their communities.

HIRING LOCALAnd since local business owners hire local

workers – about half of all private sector workers are employed in small businesses, according to the Bureau of Labor – money for taxes and wages stays in the community, too.

Unemployment statistics are linked very closely to the success or failure of small businesses, which means that your infusion of shopping money can also make a positive impact on a national level. This creates a strong connection between workers and customers alike.

You’re more than just another number in the customer count when you visit a local business. Without your business, your local small-business owner would not be able to hire or retain as many local workers. From the owner down to the seasonal part-timer, all employees of small businesses depend on your support.

It’s simple economics. As much as $75 out of every $100 that you spend at locally owned businesses remain in your area, according to recent studies.

Wine Company of Moscow owner Dennis Baird said he has seen a number of changes in the wine resale industry in 35 years of business, but for the Wine

Company of Moscow customers aren’t one of them. “Our fi rst customer when we opened in 1978 still lives here in Moscow and still shops here. Th at’s quite amazing,” Baird said. Th e Wine Company of Moscow, which opened its doors part time in 1978, was founded by Baird and his wife, Lynn. Th e store is managed by Terry Eckwright. Th e business, which counts about 200 residents as its “regulars,” off ers exceptional service, knowledgeable staff , great everyday prices, gourmet foods and an amazing selection of cheese. And of course, Wine Company of Moscow off ers an impressive selection of wines and beer. Baird said products sold in the store come from all around the world and almost all of the wines are under $15 with many under $10.

SHOP LOCAL | KNOWLEDGE

The next time you are perusing through a downtown business, ask yourself if you know the history of the build-ing you are in. No? Odds are the owner does.

They can give you detailed information about their buildings or the services that used to be offered there because they are privy to past records and business docu-mentation. They know who owned the building before them, probably dating back to its construction.

BRING THE KIDSIt’s never too early to pass

on the values that drive you to shop local and support your neighbors. Your sons, daugh-ters, nieces and nephews will earn money and shop for themselves one day, and they may even be future small-business owners.

Bringing them along for the shopping trip to your favorite downtown store will give them a great understanding of the benefits of spending money locally and may spark an entrepreneurial spirit within them.

SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS

Many local businesses have formed partnerships

with schools to promote the importance of shopping locally. Strategically placed around annual spend-happy periods such as back-to-school shopping, these links attract more parents

and children into local shops for items such as school supplies, backpacks and clothes.

In addition to bringing in more business, local owners use these partnerships to

educate young people about entrepreneurship, economics and finances. Teachers are use the promotions to focus on these topics, many times through week-long lesson plans.

If your local school doesn’t participate in such a program, consider pitching the idea to

administrators. It’s never too early to plant the seed of busi-ness in the minds of our youth.

Get a Local EducationLocal business owners are often treasure troves of historical

knowledge related to your area, so shopping locally can provide you with a full-blown education.

VALENTINE’S DAYHave a sweetheart who loves to

garden? February is a great month to start laying the groundwork for this year’s flowers, vegetables, fruits and trees. Take your love to your local gardening shop for handy tools and beautiful plants, as well as expert advice on planting seasons.

BIRTHDAYSIf any of your friends’ or family

members’ birthdays fall in April, Record Store Day may be right up their alley. The nationwide celebration of your local indie record store has become a popular annual event chock-full of great promotions and even greater camaraderie. And as any record fan knows, sometimes a band just sounds better on vinyl.

FATHER’S AND MOTHER’S DAY

Tourism opportunities most likely dot your local landscape in the form of cabins or bed and breakfasts. Why not treat mom or dad to a relaxing experience?

Staying local for short trips such as these takes away the long travel asso-ciated with many getaways, allowing more time for mom and dad to spend quality time together.

HALLOWEENMany downtown establishments

open their doors for Halloween,

inviting the neighborhood children to come get their fill of candy in a safe,

have the peace of mind of their children enjoying trick-or-treating, while they do a little window shopping for themselves or others.

CHRISTMASThe biggest push to shop local

comes around Christmas time every year – on the last Saturday of November to be exact. Spearheaded by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday has rapidly

entrenched itself into the holiday shopping tradition landscape.

The nationally recognized move-ment to celebrate and shop small businesses was created as a counter-part to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and annually attracts 100 million local-focused shoppers.

Take a look at the shelves of your local boutique business. See anything that would make a great gift? Odds are, yes. From locally produced jams and jellies to unique arts and crafts, local shops are brimming

with creativity – and great presents.

Local First Projects Working

Local First initiatives are boosting customer traffic on Main Street, according to a 2013 national survey of inde-pendent business owners conducted by the Institute for Local Self-Reliance in partnership with the Advocates for Independent Business.

With 550 member busi-nesses, Local First is the largest organization supporting and advocating for locally owned companies in the Midwest.

The survey – gathered from 2,602 independent businesses – also found that small-business owners need policymakers to do more to create a level playing field. Write your local congressional leaders to make your voice heard on any of the following issues you feel need to be addressed.

Among the survey’s key findings:

Independent businesses reported revenue growth of 5.3 percent on average in 2013.

percent of businesses located in cities with active Local First campaigns reported increased customer traffic. They also reported sales growth of 7 percent on average in 2013, compared to 2.3 percent for inde-pendent businesses in places without such an initiative.

Competition from large internet compa-nies, unbalanced sup-plier pricing and the high cost of health

insurance are a few of the chief concerns identified by small-business owners, according to the survey.

small-business owners are continually pushing the requirement to collect sales tax to large online retailers, as the survey confirmed. Eliminating public subsidies

and tax breaks for big compa-nies would go a long way toward balancing the scales in the eyes of many independent retailers.

than three-quarters of inde-pendent retailers said in the survey that the fact that many online companies are not required to collect sales tax

had hurt their sales. More than 40 percent of these respondents described the level of impact to their sales as “significant.”

Access to credit: In the past two years, 42 percent of small business loan applicants failed to obtain a loan or received one for less than the amount they needed.

Independent businesses across the country have worked hard at getting their message to the masses. Message received.

D. Willy’s Blues has built a loyal following in its second year in Moscow with great food, service, and an ambiance that can’t be beat.

Near the corner of Main and Sixth streets downtown Moscow, D. Willy’s Blues

features an expanded brunch menu, including three-egg omelets, biscuits and gravy, and chicken fried steak. Go in for supper and enjoy delicious BBQ, stacked burgers, or the new penne macaroni and cheese.

“Blue’s atmosphere is unique to the area,” say owners Dennis and Jeanna Wilson.

After 20 years in the pizza industry as owner and operator of the Pizza Perfection locations, Dennis was ready for a new

challenge.The restaurant features

12 beers on tap with local microbrews and rotating taps. There’s also mimosas, a large selection of wine, and live music by local bands. Blue’s offers self-serve catering and is the host restaurant of the Vandal Coaches Show this fall.

D. Willy’s Blues is open at 11:00 am daily for brunch, lunch, and supper and can be reached at (208) 883-3100.


That’s because small-business owners depend on your repeat business. If they scare you off the first time you visit their store, they also scare off future revenue.

POSITIVE EXPERIENCELocal business owners treat you with respect and

kindness because they need your support. Your money keeps their dreams alive, their families fed and their lights on. It also helps fuel their creativity and passion. Without innovation and a love for their business, independent retailers don’t have much of chance to succeed in the highly competitive fight for your dollar.

CONVERSATIONLocal owners are quick to talk with you and ask

about your life because they are genuinely inter-ested in learning about their customers. Gaining a better understating of their target audience helps owners improve their services, which, in turn, boosts their bottom line.

Conversation can be extra helpful if you’re try-ing to complete a home improvement project. One trip to your local hardware store can often be less time-consuming and more informative than one to a big box operation.

REAL PEOPLEIf you have a question for your local business

owner, odds are you can track them down on the phone with one or two calls. And you can bet you’ll actually hear a human voice when you make your call. Finding courteous assistance without having to punch through a hoard of automated “please holds?” What a novel concept.

Small-business owners understand that customer service means sustained business. They are willing to make themselves available to help you work

through any inquiries or product issues you are having. So pick up your phone and give them a call. They’re waiting to assist you.

SHOP LOCAL | EXPERIENCE

No Pressure on CustomersFor local businesses, it’s all about the customer experience. This means

friendly attitudes and a focus on you, not your dollars. You aren’t likely to find quota-driven salespeople around every corner at your local

independent business.

SHOP LOCAL | FEELING BETTER

Retail TherapyYes, it is a real thing. Well, maybe not as defined by the American

impact people in large-scale studies.Most recently researched by the University of Michigan,

people tend to spend more on themselves when they’re feeling sad about something.

polled dozens of volunteers in a unique way. A team of researchers from Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, Stanford and

clip that showed grief following a tragic death or a neutral clip from a nature show. They found that people who watched the sad video clip offered an average of 300 percent more money for the item than those who had viewed the neutral clip.

FEEL GOOD BY GOING GREEN“Retail Therapy” isn’t the only way that shopping locally can

make you feel good. The impact you make on the environ-ment can go a long way, too. Every dollar you spend locally decreases your carbon footprint by reducing the amount of gas and packaging required to complete the supply chain process.

The connection between smart shopping and sustainabil-ity is strong, especially when spending is at its peak. So whether you’re shelling out your hard-earned tax refund or Christmas shopping stockpile, don’t forget the health of the environment and the shape you want to leave it for future generations.

LESS TRAVEL = QUALITY TIMEBuying more locally produced products can help us refine

our air because it cuts down on travel for both you and

Agency, trucks and locomotives are responsible for 25 percent of smog-causing pollution and the majority of the cancer threat posed by air pollution in some areas.

Staying local can lead to more quality time spent with fam-ily, too, instead of being confined inside of your car. Cleaner air AND more time with your favorite people? By now you should be feeling all fuzzy inside about shopping locally. Now go share your positive feelings – and money – with your local business owners.© FOTOLIA

Wasankari Construction“The Building Recyclers” - Celebrating 36 years of recycling on the Palouse

Visit our new offi ce made completely from recycled and salvaged materials.

Owner Doug Wasankari has over 40 years of experi-ence in retrofi tting foundations and basements under existing buildings, structure relocation, demolition and materials salvage.

As a byproduct of the construction and deconstruc-tion, Doug and his wife Melanie have created a very unique building materials recycling retail yard.

Items arrive from the crews to the yard to be processed for re-use in remodels, new construction, landscaping and art works.

Some of these items available to the public are: hardwood fl oorings; doors; windows; used brick lim-

bers; electrical; plumbing fi xtures; and used metals.Doug has estimated that Wasankari Construction

has kept 1000s of tons of reusable items out of the landfi ll and saves 100s of older buildings from being torn down.

In the last eight years, Wasankari has added more than 1,500 tons of stone inventory. A sample of items for sale are fl agstone, columns, fountains, stone

veneers, large and small retaining wall boulders and decorative rock ground covers.

Most recently the business has begun production of small precast concrete. The stone stamped stepping stones and steps in custom colors and “critter” imprints have become popular as a unique landscaping option.

Wasankari has so much on hand it cannot be listed, so you will need to stop by and take a look.
