Alaska’s economy has long been governed by oil drilling, but in recent years, the industry has taken a hit. As oil production fell, the rest of the economy followed suit. While saving money is important, it’s essential for Alaskans to stick together when doing business rather than taking it outside. By going to local companies for everything from business printing to electronics purchases, you can make a genuine difference right here at home.

Strengthening Your Local Economy

Do you know where your dollars go when you shop at a “big-box” store? That money isn’t staying here in Alaska—instead, it is going to major corporations that won’t recirculate that money locally.

When you shop at a local business, you’re investing in the community. Local store owners hire area residents as employees and go to other local companies for services such as business printing. Ultimately, more of the money you spend goes back into supporting area interests and needs.

Enjoying Better Products & Service

Big-box stores don’t offer the personalized service and expert advice you’ll find at a local business. These companies truly care about their customers, because they don’t have big-budget ad campaigns to bring people to their stores. As such, you can depend on them to provide top-notch products and services every time you visit—because your satisfaction and loyalty are that much more important to them.

When you shop local, you’ll be treated with the respect you deserve and build valuable relationships right here in your own neighborhood. By shopping local, everyone wins. If you need business printing services to support your company’s needs, keep it local with Northern Printing in Anchorage, AK.
