Local businesses lead the way
By: Ned Koppen - Chamber President
Greetings from the Fairmont Area Chamber
of Commerce. The year 2020 has turned out to be a
year unlike any most of us have ever experienced. The
challenges have been many and difficult. Dealing with
change has become a very necessary skill. With that
introduction, it might seem that this will be another
gloomy, pandemic themed monologue that we have all
heard many versions of over the past many months. I
am going to avoid that, I promise. Instead I am going to
talk about positives in our community. COVID 19 will
be somewhere in the background, as it has since mid-
March, but that is the kind of year it has been.
Like every Chamber member, the Fairmont
Area Chamber office has been
forced to make concessions to the
way we do business. Every time
we plan to hold a meeting (big or
small), plan an event or do any of
the things we have always done,
we have to think about how to do it
the right way, the safe way or to do
it at all. The information that helps
you make those decisions seems
to change weekly, daily or maybe
during the course of any given day.
Those are big challenges and all
of our businesses are navigating
that minefield. They have changed
when they needed to and pivoted
when necessary. It is impressive. When you go shopping,
you can still go to the stores you want and buy the
things you want and need.
Over the course of the last few months of
change, our businesses have changed as well. They
have figured out ways to offer you more choices and
more value than you received before a pandemic of
challenges and circumstances came into the picture.
Think about how many of our LOCAL businesses now
offer expanded ways to shop on-line now (I’m not talking
about Amazon). You can call in orders, have your
purchases delivered to your home, curb side pick-up, all
of these services are things that our local businesses are
doing for us. And they figured out how to do it when
“Let's Shop
LOCAL
This
Holiday Season "
things were most difficult for them. I have often felt that
how someone reacts when times are toughest is a pretty
good indicator of what they are made of. If that is true,
we are lucky to live in this great community made up of
all these great businesses and the people who work for
them.
So, with that said, the Chamber office has starting
the planning for the Glows Parade and that means
that the Holiday Shopping Season is ready to get under
way. I think we can all assume that there will be changes
to some of what we do and challenges in how we do
things this year. Here is one change that we can be intentional
about. Let’s shop local this holiday
season. You hear the Chamber talk
about shopping local all of the time.
It’s a good thing, and it benefits our
community and local businesses
in many ways in a normal year.
This strange and unpredictable
year all of those same reasons still
hold true. In addition, we should
all think about the businesses and
choices that we have right here in
our community because shopping
local is great for our community
AND our businesses deserve it!
They have fought and clawed their
way to keeping their doors open
and made sure we could safely get the
products we needed when times were tough. Let’s give
them a thank you for that and buy local this year.
The Chamber’s Retail, Business & Entertainment
(RBE) Committee created a Top 10 Reasons to
Support Local Businesses list. Here is the list:
1. Creates Local Jobs for the Community
2. Boosts the Local Economy
3. Supports Your Neighbors
4. Provides More Personalized Service
5. Saves Time
6. Donates Back to the Community
7. Encourages Other Businesses to Invest Locally
8. Creates More Choices for the Local Economy
