Press Release: Buy local campaign kicks off in Livingston
June 1, 2010
LIVINGSTON, MT: Vision Livingston in partnership with local contributors is launching a campaign called Livingston Buy Local. This effort is designed to encourage citizens to keep their dollars within the community. The focus of the campaign is to inform community members about the economic and cultural benefits of buying local. Livingston Buy Local firmly believes that buying locally helps to keep Livingston unique, reduces environmental impact, creates more jobs, and encourages local success. The focus will be Livingston and the surrounding areas.
The campaign will include the distribution of Livingston Buy Local window decals, stickers, bumper stickers, posters, and fact sheets regarding the influence that spending money in locally owned and operated businesses has on the community’s economic prosperity. Livingston Buy Local will have a multifaceted internet presence including a website and an active social media marketing campaign which will utilize Facebook and Twitter to the benefit of all participating businesses. The website operates largely as a free directory of local goods and services and will be a reliable resource of information about community events, featuring user-submitted content and allowing anyone in Livingston to share news and photos. Additionally, there will be a prominent billboard representing the campaign.
The online directory, social media presence and starter pack of materials are free to all business-owners and service-providers who want to participate. In the coming weeks, representatives of the organization will be traveling door-to-door in an effort to distribute materials and add local businesses to the directory.
