Do Business Locally Our choice to support our local Chamber businesses is what makes the town's economy strong. Buying in another city or on the Internet helps other businesses, other communities, other residents, but does not take care of Wickenburg's own. Each day we pick up the paper or listen to reporters on radio and television about the challenging news for the economy. There are specific things we can do to stimulate job growth and encourage businesses to be successful in these turbulent times. When you spend at a Chamber member business, your money is recycled in the community. That business retains employees, who also buy in Wickenburg, thus supporting other businesses. Tax revenues generated help pay for town services, maintaining our quality of life. Most cities and towns in our state are broadcasting the need to buy local in order to boost retail tax dollars. Now more than ever, "Do Business Locally -Buy It in Wickenburg!" You not only get your product or service, you directly play a role in our local economic health.   Practical List of Things to Do: Make a commitment to shop locally. Get your oil changed by your regular mechanic. Go out to breakfast, lunch or dinner. Buy things on sale and give part to a friend. Support our local non-profits. Offer to do an errand for another. Don’t forget hand-me-downs, hand-me-over, and anything else you can pass forward. Invite out-of-town friends and family to visit then recommend a terrific local lodging. If you own a business, offer discounts. Do business with Wickenburg Chamber of Commerce members! (Create your own ways to weather the economy and share them with five other people!)
