Go Local Go Loyal Lifestyle Launch With The Cranston Chamber
RISBJ Staff | Aug 10, 2015
CRANSTON, RI – During it’s August 17th networking event at the Bonefish Grill in Cranston, Steve Boyle, President of the Cranston Chamber will announce the first of it’s kind in Rhode Island, GO LOCAL GO LOYAL LIFESTYLE campaign. This campaign is unique in that it is the first time that a go local campaign is being coordinated with a customer loyalty program.
The Cranston Chamber of Commerce is inviting you to join them in creating a new community. A community of buying local, sharing customers, and creating customer and business loyalties. The Chamber is adopting a “customer loyalty life-style” based on a system perfected by Lyoness, an international buy-local, customer-loyalty program. The Chamber’s goal is to establish a community of buyers and sellers, creating and referring local customers back and forth.
If Rhode Islanders were to shift 10% of their spending from chains to local businesses, it would bring an additional $373 million per year to the state’s economy. Additionally, 57% of every dollar spent at a locally owned business stays in the local economy, compared to just 13.6% spent at a chain store. The figures are ever higher for local restaurants with 65.4% staying locally, while only 34.5% remaining in town when you dine at a chain restaurant.
The Cranston Chamber is a local organization whose main goal is to build and promote the community. They strive to create an atmosphere where the business community can thrive and advance economic and social prosperity. As a big part of this effort, the Chamber will be officially launching their BUY LOCAL LIFESTYLE campaign at the Bonefish Grill at Chapel View at from 5:30 to 7:30 on Monday, August 17th.
If you want to know more about how you can become involved in the “Buy Local Lifestyle” and become and attract loyal customers, contact Steve Boyle, Cranston Chamber President at 401.785.3780. Better yet, come join us on August 17th and help make this effort a resounding success!
