Independents Days!

Omaha, Ne. – Omaha Local Independent Business Alliance’s second annual Independents Days is reaching out to consumers to show their pride for local business during the two weeks of festivities.

The campaign got underway June 28 when OLIBA’s website: www.shoplocalomaha.com was officially re-launched. Included on the website is an opportunity for consumers to vote for their favorite independently-owned business in the Omaha area. By voting, site visitors also register for a chance to win a bundle of gift certificates from OLIBA members.

The website will also house discounts, applicable to many of the member businesses. Independents Days discounts include offers at Rockbrook Women’s Gym and The Bookworm, among others.

According to “Local Works,” a 2008 survey, $68 of every $100 spent at a local business stays local, while only $43 of $100 spent at a national chain remains local.

Millard Lumber is proud to be part of this year’s Independents Days!  Once again go to: www.shoplocalomaha.com for an exclusive discount from Millard Lumber!
