Salt Lake City, November 22, 2021 – Why shop small and local for the holidays? Voting with your dollar by supporting local businesses supports a robust sense of community, that intangible quality that makes a place feel truly special. When you shop small, you are directly impacting the livelihood and wellbeing of your neighbors by supporting their entrepreneurial dreams. Beyond this, spending your dollars within the state of Utah creates a cycle of benefits for taxpayers by reinvesting in our vital infrastructure, educational systems, and more. According to Local First Utah, more than half of the dollars you spend at a locally-owned business are recirculated into the Utah economy, which is more than quadruple the impact of each dollar spent at a big-box national retailer. With continually escalating shipping delays and supply chain issues, too, shopping locally also guarantees you’ll have all your gifts in time for the holiday festivities!
The Third Annual Craft Lake City Holiday Market will showcase over 100 Utah-based artisans, makers, and food vendors, many of whom are first-time participants. From jewelry to pottery, paintings to sculptures, artisanal dog treats and handcrafted soaps, you’ll be sure to find a one-of-a-kind gift for everyone on your list. At events like the Third Annual Craft Lake City Holiday Market, Craft Lake City’s programming grows and strengthens individual artisans and small business owners across Utah by providing opportunities to attract new customers, promote their craft to new audiences, and grow their sales.
