Local First Utah

Get Involved as a Consumer

Consumers drive our local economies, so consumer decisions make a huge impact on local businesses. Here are some things you can do as a consumer.

• Think and buy local first. When you think of buying a product or service, check first to see whether there is a locally owned business that might meet your needs. From lawn mowers to lattes, there’s nearly always a local option.
• Lend your voice and your vote to public officials who make policy that is fair to all businesses. Tell your elected officials that all businesses—big, small, local, national, or international—should compete on a level playing field in Utah.
• Spread the word about Local First Utah! Ask your favorite locally owned business to register with us. Partnership in Local First is free and registration is easy!
• Volunteer with Local First Utah. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and we can always use volunteers at events and for special projects. Call 801.456.1456 if you are interested.
  
• Donate to Local First Utah. Your tax-deductible donation is always welcome, helping us to conduct more outreach and education on behalf of local businesses as well as printing local directories and other operating expenses. You can donate securely online on our website.
