Buy Local First Week is an annual campaign that launches on Black Friday -- the purpose of the campaign is to encourage consumers to shift at least 10 percent of their holiday spending from national retail stores to local retailers during the busiest shopping season of the year, thus producing a significant economic impact.

The 2012 Buy Local First Week will once again feature the Gift Shift Coupon Campaign, a ground-breaking program designed by Local First Utah, allowing partner businesses to offer discounts to customers via the Local First Utah website.
