Unveiling the Power of Local Economies: 

Getslocal Perspective Reshaping the Narrative:
Welcome to Getslocal, where we're reshaping the narrative on community revitalization and economic empowerment with a simple yet profound mantra: "It's the  Economy Stupid." Reminiscent of the famous phrase from Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, this message underscores the paramount importance of local economic activity in driving community prosperity.


The Power of Buying Local: 

Driving Community Prosperity:
At the core of Getslocal's mission lies a powerful belief in the significance of buying local. Just as Clinton's campaign emphasized economic issues, we champion the idea that supporting local businesses, artisans, and vendors is key to bolstering the local economy. By redirecting consumer spending towards local enterprises, we aim to inject vitality into struggling communities and foster a renewed sense of community pride and resilience.


Reviving the "Buy Local" Movement:

 A Strategy for Economic Resurgence:
The "Buy Local" movement, which Getslocal fervently supports, is not merely a slogan but a strategy for economic resurgence. Similar to Clinton's emphasis on economic revitalization, we are dedicated to reviving this movement. Through our efforts, we seek to stimulate economic growth and encourage a more sustainable economic landscape.


The Importance of Circulation:

Understanding Economic Mechanics:
One of the critical components of our approach is understanding the importance of economic circulation. We delve into the mechanics of money velocity, highlighting the significance of keeping money circulating within the local economy. Drawing inspiration from the economic landscape of 1980, when each pound in circulation was spent an average of 2.65 times, Getslocal aims to replicate and surpass that level of economic activity. In today's context, where the velocity ratio has dwindled to a mere 1.0, there is an urgent need to reignite local economic circulation.

Strategies for Economic Resurgence: 

Empowering Local Communities:
Getslocal employs a multifaceted approach to achieve its goals. Through initiatives such as B2C hybrid coalition loyalty program, and B2B Capacity Trade Exchange, community education efforts, and strategic partnerships with local organizations, we empower individuals and businesses to actively participate in local economic revival. By incentivizing local spending and facilitating trade among local enterprises, we aim to amplify economic activity and create a ripple effect of prosperity throughout the community.


Reclaiming Economic Vitality: 

Redirecting Focus to the Grassroots:
In essence, Getslocal's message echoes Clinton's sentiment – it's all about the economy. However, instead of focusing solely on national or global economic trends, we redirect attention to the grassroots level. By championing the "Local Economy Stupid" mantra and advocating for the resurgence of local economic circulation, Getslocal seeks to reclaim the economic vitality witnessed in 1997. With community engagement and concerted efforts, we envision a future where each pound spent locally reverberates through the local economy, driving sustained growth and prosperity.
