A coming Holiday Campaign for Local and Independent Businesses

[somlocal1st.livejournal.com]

 Somerville Local First is planning a holiday campaign to encourage residents and community members to buy local for the holiday season.

What type of events and campaign elements would encourage and enable you to buy more from local businesses this holiday season?  

We'd love your thoughts and feedback as we construct the campaign.

Thanks,
Somerville Local First

Exactly.

Plus, if local stores charge significantly more than other stores, I'm not buying local. Why should I? Local stores should be rated based on how many local jobs they create. I'd be happy to sponsor stores that create such jobs, as turil says.

Re: Exactly.

You sort of contradict yourself here, saying on the one hand that you only care about price, and on the other that job creation matters.
