The cheapest price is not necessarily the best deal. Networking is crucial for everyone in a community. Healthcare, energy, manufacturing, construction, food industries, etc. all need each other, why not support those industries right in your own town?
I know I'm much more likely to do business with someone who does business with me, it's just a reciprocating endeveor. Heck, my hairdresser is not cheap, in fact she's pretty expensive, and really, really good at what she does. I don't mind paying the going rate for excellent service, especially when she sends me clients as well.
When I need to contract to have something done around my home (that I can't or won't do myself), who do I call? I call the local guy, he's not cheap either, but do I get my money's worth? You bet! I don't get an excuse for why something didn't work out, or why that wasn't in the bid, I get what I wanted! And, if it fails for whatever reason, I know I can call and have my phone call returned, along with a fix ASAP.
It only makes sense that if the local economy is strong, my business will be strong as well. I like working with people I can look in the eye. Bless the international business community, but they really only care about my dollar, not me.
Want a strong local economy, buy good stuff and services from good people, right in your own home town!
