Buy at Home Club Transforms Barburton Merchants Fight
In Barburton Ohio a Civic Beauty League shifted to a Buy at Home club after merchants balked at funding home goods. A prize contest generated dozens of reasons to buy locally, printed on cards linked to residents, and driven by newspaper promotion. The program boosted home purchases and reduced out-of-town shopping within a year.
