This holiday season Broadway Stages encourages you to remember to keep your dollars local and support the small businesses in our community. As you have most certainly heard, they are in dire need of our patronage due to the impact of the pandemic.  As you make your holiday shopping list please consider how your dollars can make a huge difference in keeping our local shops in business.  Do you know how much of your $100 purchase stays in your community? The North Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce reports the following statistic that is eye opening!

Independent Local Shop - $48 Big Box/Chain Store - $13 Remote Online Marketplace - $1

So, as you head out for food, gifts, and other essentials, please consider safely shopping locally and supporting the small businesses in your community. And if you are a local small business in North Brooklyn please consider signing up for the North Brooklyn Chamber 2020 Hyper-Local Holiday Campaign. It’s free and there are a ton of benefits. You can learn more about the campaign here.  Thank you and Happy Holidays!
