Think Local-Reasons to Shop Locally

As you shop for ski gear or begin your holiday shopping this time of year, keep in mind a few reasons to shop locally and support your local ski shops.

*Supporting local businesses supports the local economy and keeps dollars spent in our own community.
*Shopping locally allows you to actually see, touch, feel or try on the product you are interested in. No guessing or surprises. You will know if the items fit and if you like the color!
*Locally owned businesses provide valuable products and services and help create the distinctive character of Boise.
*Local businesses hire people who live in the community and tend to be more knowledgeable about the products and services they sell. Skiers are passionate about their sport and ski retailers are passionate about the gear they have to offer you.
*Local retailers can advise you on products based on common information. For example, a specific ski model might be recommended for you because of the ski runs you like to ski at Bogus Basin. A local retailer will know exactly what you are describing.
*Local retailers typically have local buyers who select the merchandise they offer their customers. Local buyers have a better feel for products that will meet your needs.
*If you have a warranty issue with a product, local retailers can handle the issue in a more timely fashion and will typically go out of their way to satisfy you as quickly as possible. We want to keep you happy and keep you on the slopes!
*Chances are, your local retailer knows you by name and can help you find exactly what you are looking for. Retailers are always happy to see their regular customers who are also their friends!
*Supporting local businesses will ensure that your favorite retailers are here and ready to help you in the future. We are all facing the challenges of the current economy and with your support we will all weather the storm and be here for seasons to come.

So…as you consider your buying choices, think local and come see us soon! We’re happy to see you and we can help you find exactly what you are looking for!
