Washington, DC-MD-VA-WV (1888PressRelease) November 25, 2010 - Specialty Store Services has joined Local First Chicago, an advocacy group for local businesses in Chicago. Local First Chicago is a group of community organizations who advocate the importance of owning locally independent businesses so that the money that changes hands in the process is circulated among people living in that region only. This move is expected to generate greater employment opportunities for the indigenous people that will eventually lead to the development of the community and the society as a whole.

The reason why Specialty Store Services collaborated with Local First Chicago is that their aim has always been to support small and medium size businesses and this is something which they have been relentlessly doing since 1987. Local First Chicago was started in 2005 and today almost all the local communities and neighborhoods from every nook and corner of Chicago are a part of their wide diversified network. This collaboration with Specialty Store Services is expected to benefit the local communities immensely as the latter is almost a veteran as far as supplying products to the locally owned retail stores is concerned. They have both the knowledge and expertise which can help small businesses thrive more sustainably in this ever fluctuating economy.

Local First Chicago talks about doing things locally. But in this changing economic scenario, where online shopping is a burgeoning industry, what are the things a local seller should do to attract customers to his store. When a customer has the liberty to choose anything that he wishes to from the topmost brands simply at the click of a mouse it is indeed difficult for a local seller to thrive his business? So how does a seller convince his customers to stop by his brick and mortar store or for that matter his online shop even and make some of the choicest picks. This is exactly where Local First Chicago steps in and acquaints the local sellers with the finer nuances of marketing that give them a competitive edge. And they primarily work through public education, business support, and propagation.

Local First Chicago also holds local events from time to time which in turn can give the local economy an additional boost. And by becoming their member you too can promote local events or help someone promote his. The advantages of becoming a member are multifarious. You not only get to advertise your products but also network with over 3,000 plus participating owners. Moreover, as these local events are a melting point of many business minds, it can open the door to incredible opportunities for small business owners in the future. Local First Chicago now has a considerable presence on social networking sites like Linked In, Facebook and Myspace. So you can tune into these sites for more information about their upcoming events and other news etc.

Hence, by encouraging people to eat, drink and buy indigenously, Local First Chicago is invariably supporting a cause which has the potential to change the society and the environment around us. So come, donate, be a part of the cause and make your community a better place for everyone to live in.
