Find it Locally on Nearest.com - An Eco-System to Support Local Businesses.

More than ever, everyone realizes how important it is to support local.

Imagine if every product, from every local business, could instantly be found on a search engine exclusively dedicated to content from community-based local businesses.

That's exactly what nearest.com ‘Community Shopping Zones’ are designed to do.




The following links explain how Nearest.com 'Community Shopping Zones' will benefit local businesses, municipalities, mall owners and protect jobs in our communities.

In Support of Local Businesses - Follow and Share your Community Shopping Zone

Google pay-per-click ads and Amazon have done nothing but take market share away from brick and mortar, municipal tax-paying, job-creating local businesses. This has gone on for years and the trend will continue until consumers have an alternative search engine, exclusively dedicated to the inventory of local businesses with unbiased search results based on proximity and without pay-per-click ads dominating those search results like on Google.



Please take into consideration that nearest.com and this project have been financed primarily by myself through funds earned by my retail flower shop.

Now more than ever, the timing is right to build an alternative online ecosystem exclusively dedicated to supporting the local businesses that are vital to sustaining our communities.

HOW CAN YOU HELP!

1.  Share our Support Local message - SupportLocal.org

2.  Share on Social Media - An Ecosystem to Support Local Businesses   https://www.nearest.com/ecosystem/

3.  If you know of any funding programs that could help our team build APIs to connect local businesses to their Community Shopping Zone - it would accelerate the onboarding process.

Our goal of connecting every local business to a ‘Community Shopping Zone’ will make it easy for consumers to find any product locally and help us deliver on our mission to Support Local.



Supporting local is vital to sustaining vibrant communities. Let's work together to make it happen in your community!





Sincerely,

The economic benefit of supporting local is 'Community Sustainability'


The municipal property tax revenue collected from local businesses are vital to sustaining our communities.
Those revenues help pay for teachers, police, firefighters, recreational facilities and many municipal services.


When you spend money locally it has a ripple effect. It circulates in the community several times.
This ripple effect is called the local multiplier. If everyone spends an extra $10 a week locally, the ripple effect can create billions in local commerce.
