Shop Local...Make Your Community Thrive!

The backbone of most small communities in the Midwest are the small businesses.  Shopping local provides a multiplier effect that is three fold according to the American Independent Business Alliance:

www.amiba.net 

1. Direct impact is spending done by a business in the local economy to operate the business, including inventory, utilities, equipment and pay to employees. 
2. Indirect impact happens as dollars the local business spent at other area businesses re-circulate. 
3. Induced impact refers to the additional consumer spending that happens as employees, business owners and others spend their income in the local economy.

So every dollar you spend with a locally owned business make the entire community thrive and grow.  This is no different in the Lake Area which is full of entrepreneurs and small business owners.  Here are just a few reasons why when given the choice - local is the way to go!

• Keep dollars circulating in the local community keep more small businesses operating which offers more choices to the consumer.
• Competition keeps everyone honest and is a great way to maintain lower prices for the long term.
• Money spent with a local business will generate 3.5x's more wealth for the local economy compared to money spent at a chain-owned business according to Michael Salguero, CEO and Co-founder, CustomMade.com.
• By choosing local independent makers / growers you cut down on packaging as well as transportation waste.

As we draw near the holiday shopping season keep in mind the small business owners in your area and buy local whenever you can!

Nobody Likes Cold Feet

If you are remodeling or building a new home something to definitely consider are heated floors.  Barefoot Floors is happy to offer SunTouch Electric Floor Heating items in their product line.  SunTouch offers a variety of heating products that can be installed safely under nearly any surface, in virtually any size area, both inside and out.  By regulating the heat from the floor up can impact your utilities in a very good way!

Lavish, warm floors are popular in kitchens, entries, bathrooms, shower floors or any room with cold floors. An example of one product is the SunTouch TapeMats which are used in long flat areas, attaching to the subfloor then covered with mortar and a finished floor.    

Another option is the SunTouch WarmWire which is perfect for large rooms or ones with complex layouts. The cable straps are secured to the subfloor then stretched between beams before covering, and it's waterproof!
