Over the last several years, there has been an increased interest in shopping local and keeping money within local economies. This trend can be seen in many different industries, including business equipment and copier sales. Common Sense Business Solutions is an independently-owned company based in Sonoma County. Forming connections with the community, supporting local economies, and reducing environmental impacts are just a few core values of our company that encourage us to focus on local copier sales.
Shopping local – what it means and why it matters
When people talk about shopping local, they usually mean choosing small, independently-owned business that are within your own community, region, or state. Depending on the type of product you buy, it may mean that the item was grown or produced locally. When it comes to copier sales, shopping local is more about choosing an independent company over a big-box, corporate store. Shopping local is a great idea whether you’re buying food, clothing, or a brand new copier for your office. Choosing local companies helps you build meaningful relationships with others in your community and boost the sense of community overall. It also helps keep money within your community, which strengthens the local economy. Purchasing products that are shipped from just down the road (rather than from across the country) is also a great way to reduce the carbon footprint of your business.
