What is IndieBound.com?
IndieBound is a community-oriented movement begun by the independent bookseller members of the American Booksellers Association. It brings together booksellers, readers, indie retailers, local business alliances, and anyone else with a passionate belief that healthy local economies help communities thrive. Supporting local, indie businesses means that dollars, jobs, diversity, choice, and taxes stay local, creating strong, unique communities and happy citizens. It's a powerful tool for booksellers to communicate their part in a national movement supporting independents--and lets everyone know just how many independent bookstores there are. It's powerful for authors to show their dedication to indies nationwide, easily done through linking to thousands of indie bookstores through IndieBound.org. It's powerful because IndieBound encompasses and supports all types of independent retailers, not just booksellers--and local or regional shop local campaigns and independent business alliances, as well. And it's powerful for consumers to feel a part of a larger movement, to know that their choices make a difference and that others are working toward the same goals.
Why support independents?
When you shop at an independently-owned business, your entire community benefits: - Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43. - Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors. - More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong. - Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint. - Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community. - Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you. - Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains. - More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
