The 3/50 Project - A List of Four


If you own a brick and mortar small business, please visit www.the350project.net There's four things you need to know (found on their website)

One: 3   What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say Hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps them around. 

Two: 50  If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.*  Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 the employed population did that.

Three: 68   For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, other expenditures.  If you spend that at a national chain, only $43   stays here.  Spend it online, nothing comes home.

Four:  1    The number it takes to start the trend ....you.
