Shop Local Dollars is a local currency that supports North Perth businesses.
Having started this program in 2008, the North Perth Chamber of Commerce wants to help keep your hard-earned money in the community you live and work in.
Local businesses are the embodied dreams and ambitions of your community members. By shopping locally, you’re helping support the dreams of people who are an integral part of your community.
Shop Local Dollars have an updated look that is stamped with a seal of authenticity. Each dollar is numbered and printed on non-copy paper to reduce fraud and assure security and safety for every use.
The value is the same as a regular dollar. It’s guaranteed that the Shop Local Dollar will stay in North Perth and support local businesses.
Local businesses provide more personalized, excellent services.
More often than not, local businesses have higher quality products, produce, and goods than larger competitors.
Your hometown stores circulate most of their earnings to other nearby businesses and suppliers. You help the local economy by buying local.
Become a steward of economic sustainability by reducing your carbon footprint. Local businesses cut down transportation costs and reduce the volume of non-recyclable packaging used per purchase.
Enjoy the uniqueness of local products! Mass-produced products can be simply generic, take pride in where you’re from and what your town has to offer.
“For every dollar spent at a local business, 80 cents stays in the community.”
