Shift Happens

Shift Happens is our show that is dedicated to businesses and people that are loyal to Local 1st Arizona. If residents of every state, county and municipality would undertake a 10% shift in their buying habits it would go a long way to balancing budgets, creating jobs and lowering taxes. The major national chains, be they restaurants, grocery outlets or finacial institutions send a large percentage of the revenue they generate out of the state they do business in. If, as an example, you wou buy from a local business just one of ten visits in that catagory, you could effect a major change in the revenue that stays in your state or municipality. When you go to dinner, make the 10% Shift and 1 of 10 dinner outings chose a locally owned restaurant. Do the same with grocers. Move 10% of your money to a local bank or credit union. Buy goods and services from local merchants just 10% of the time and you support this movement to keep revenus in your local market. Listen to Shift Happens on Mondays and learn about Local First Arizona and their efforts to promote the 10% Shift. Learn about the local business that are involved in this project. Get involved and start the movement in your state, town or county where ever you may be. Shift Happens can be heard Monday on The Boomer and The Babe Show 9-6-10 at 10AM.
