Investing In Your Town
“Shop At Home!” This resounding slogan has become the battle cry of small towns and cities across the country…support local, shop local, keep your money local.
The benefits of shopping at home reach beyond your bank account. Patronizing local businesses also builds civic pride and community involvement. Residents who feel connected to a community are more likely to put down roots, volunteer, vote, attend events and contribute to hometown charities. There’s nothing like a shop owner who knows his clients by name and has the expertise to provide for their needs.
Local businesses are the backbone of every community. They have vested interests in the area and tend to reinvest more of their dollars back into the local economy. Numerous studies illustrate a multiplier effect for shopping at community-based stores. When we spend $100 at a neighborhood store, $40 to $45 gets filtered back into the community. In a chain business, only $10 to $15 comes back. Also, sales tax generated from local sales goes to support core municipal services such as police, fire and parks and recreation programs just to name a few.
Pinpoint is proud to have a hometown presence in communities we serve which reflects our continued commitment to those communities. Not only are our local offices a convenient place to stop in for new services, if you ever have technical or billing question or if you are just wanting to drop off a payment, you can actually come in and speak to one of our customer service representatives in person. In addition, our employees hail from the towns we serve. Hiring local residents not only helps to infuse dollars back into the economy through wages, you know the people who are serving you and, better yet, they know you!
We value the opportunity to be your hometown service provider. Thanks for choosing local, helping create new jobs, boosting the economy, but mostly for allowing Pinpoint to serve you!
