Every day we engage the trades and services of businessesand buy their products, but do we ever consciously consider where these dollars we spend end up?
Do they remain within the local Broome community and help build our local economy or do they leave town only to bolster the burgeoning profits of corporate giants?
Make cents – buy local asks locals and tourists alike to recognise the additional costs incurred in operating a business in Broome. Many factors add to these costs including transport, commercial property prices and rents, staff wages and the list goes on.
In these difficult economic times we ask everyone to support local businesses thus supporting local jobs and creating a local economy that can prosper and grow and ultimately giving Broome youth employment opportunities.
