Levittown Chamber Kicks Off 'Shop Locally' Campaign

The Levittown Chamber of Commerce has kicked off its "Shop Locally" campaign to encourage community residents to shop in their home town.

"Shopping locally is critical to the economy of a community... In an effort to create a public awareness of that, the Chamber is providing member businesses with free advertising in local publications during the season and Buy Locally signs to place in their business establishments," the Chamber said in a release.

In addition to the annual Holiday Tree Lighting ads, Shop Locally ads listing the names of every Chamber of Commerce member will make an appearance during the holiday season.

The Chamber said they will also be doing a mass mailing to the community inviting residents to consider buying from local businesses before they go outside the community for products and services.

"It’s the goal of the Chamber of Commerce to keep business in the community thriving throughout the year and, especially, in this season of accelerated shopping," the Chamber said.

For more information regarding the Buy Locally program, contact Vice President Don Patane, chairperson of the Public Relations Committee at dpatane@msfg.info.
