Buy Local First- #buylocalmi

There is a group in Michigan that is made up of community minded individuals that the phrase ‘Buy Local First’ has a strong meaning. Welcome to the Band of Locals!

In the beginning the Band of Locals banded together to support locally owned Mecosta. Today they cover Osceola and Montcalm County businesses as well.

Here is how it works:

1) Purchased a Blue Band for $10.00. 2) Check out where and what businesses provide discounts. 3) Visit these businesses. 4) Receive value discounts. 5) Repeat. What is really cool. there is no expiration date.

Most of all it is about promoting local business. Supporting businesses near you allows for growth in not only that business, but in their ability to give back to the community. A win-win in our book! Remember to Buy and Shop locally in Michigan.
