The online product and service sellers may not like this headline, but buying from local small businesses can really make a difference in your local economy…..It could be the key!

Sure, it is sometimes easier to buy online. And yes, you can sometimes get better deals online. {Except for the shipping cost!}

But, does it help or hurt your local small business owners? I think you know the answer.

I am very passionate about this topic. Buying locally is the best way to help the economy. It really is.

I wrote an article for a local pro-business group a couple of weeks ago on this subject, and the article is starting to get linked around the blogosphere. I feel that the subject is important enough for me to ask you to send it around, also.

I did the original article over at the Business Pundit blog when I was asked to do a guest article there.
