Buy Local, Shop Downtown Results are Coming in

The Buy Local, Shop Downtown Challenge results are coming in, but slowly. Results have been shared with Intown Manchester and the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. The results have come in from only 4 downtown business owners. No results have been provided by downtown employees.  It is our hope that we can develop a challenge to all downtown businesses, employers and employees, along with downtown customers to develop a Buy Local, Shop Downtown Challenge which provides customers with rewards for shopping at locally owned businesses in Downtown Manchester. Employers, employees and customers that wish to participate can access this link and add their information and comments. The goal of the survey is to inform downtown businesses, Intown Manchester, the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce and the City of Manchester information and comments on shopping in downtown Manchester.

Buy Local, Shop Local

Before you shop for anything you need, think Buy Local, Shop Local and save.  Buying from locally owned businesses, especially those that sell locally made products can save you time and money. Locally made products don’t have to be shipped as far and that saves the environments, fuel and perhaps money on shipping costs. It also keeps your money right here in NH. 

The New England Sampler focuses on NH and New England businesses, many of which are smaller businesses. We can order products and have them overnight, saving you time on special orders, such as wedding favors or gift baskets for friends and family coming in town and staying at a hotel before the wedding.  And remember we give you 10% off wedding favors and gift baskets. So you save even more.

At The New England Sampler we work with about 10+ businesses that are also located downtown. All of these businesses are locally owned and many of them sell locally made products or offer locally provided services.  Check out the Shoppes of Historic Downtown Manchester at www.DowntownsGotIt.com for more information on these great locally owned shops.  You can find some very unique products and services at these neighborhood stores.
