In hindsight, I must confess that I used to take our local newspaper for granted. But not anymore. The new Burdekin Life Newspaper exemplifies the significance of supporting local businesses.
Take a moment to explore this remarkable FREE newspaper. The businesses that advertise within its pages are the ones who make it possible. Many of these businesses are also visible on sports club fences and team uniforms throughout the Burdekin. They consistently step up to support our community time and time again.
It's all too common these days to hear about people opting for out-of-town and online shopping. From clothing to automobiles with products from all over Australia and the world being just a click away. The sheer variety available to consumers is impressive, but it comes at the cost of increased exposure to online threats and scams. Personally, I take comfort in walking into a local business, knowing the people behind it. If I have an issue with a product, I can easily return it and receive assistance.
Consider the jobs they provide, the apprenticeships they offer, and the after-school employment and work experience opportunities that benefit our children. I understand the importance of saving money and putting food on the table as every cent counts, however if you genuinely compare Burdekin businesses, they can compete with anyone when it comes to quality products and services.
I was born and raised in a local family-owned business that thrived for 60 years. I witnessed firsthand the advantages and significance of the circular economy created by supporting local businesses.
So, I urge you to do a favour for all of us and show your appreciation to the businesses featured in this newspaper and all of the businesses in the Burdekin. They provide so much for our town, and it's time to give back.
