As the holiday shopping season begins, here are some statistics to keep in mind;
-Small businesses generate $68 in local economic return for every $100 spent with them.
-Dollars spent at independent businesses can recirculate 6 to 15 times in the local economy.
-Small businesses give 250% more to community causes than large businesses.
Merchants of Third Avenue Bay Ridge has created "Merchant Bucks" as a thank you to all of the loyal shoppers who keep 3rd Avenue thriving. Shop this weekend and earn Merchant Bucks to use in January, and lets keep LOCAL this holiday season!
