Love a Local Business Sweepstakes by Intuit
(PRESS RELEASE – July 22, 2009) – Your local business loves you. Don’t you think it’s time you start loving them back?
Supporting local businesses can have a significant impact on your community economically — in fact, a September 2008 CivicWorks study of Western Michigan found that a mere 10% shift in consumer behavior towards local businesses would add around $137 million to the local economy and creates more than 1,600 new jobs.
In a nationwide effort to help support the growth of small businesses, Intuit today announced the launch of its “Love a Local Business” sweepstakes. Fans of local small businesses can nominate their favorite hometown haunt, which will make them eligible for a drawing to win a $1,000 Intuit Growth Grant, which includes a $500 Visa gift card and $500 in Intuit business services, such as Intuit Websites and Web Listings.
In addition, each business that is nominated will appear on a custom Google Map displaying favorite businesses from across the country. To submit your favorite neighborhood shop, go to www.LoveALocalBusiness.com.
