When you shop at local businesses like Josephs Jewelers, you’re doing so much more than crossing items off your gift list—you’re investing directly into our community. Here’s why your choice to shop small on Small Business Saturday (and all year round!) has an incredible impact:
1. You’re Helping Families in Your Community Thrive
Shopping with local businesses means you’re supporting neighbors, friends, and families—people who make our community unique. Your purchase goes directly towards local employees, their families, and keeping jobs right here where we live. And that’s a gift we all benefit from.
2. Strengthening Local Economies
Small businesses create a “multiplier effect” in the economy, meaning that for every dollar spent, a large portion of it is reinvested back into other local businesses. That includes everything from local suppliers to community events. When you choose to shop locally, you’re helping to create a positive economic cycle that benefits everyone.
3. Supporting Community Initiatives and Giving Back
Josephs Jewelers is proud to give back to local organizations that make a difference. By shopping with us, you’re supporting local charities and events, including Unity Point Health – John Stoddard Rally Against Cancer, Night to Shine at Valley Church, Easter Seals for the Guns-N-Hoses: Police vs. Firefighters event, Des Moines Christian School’s True Blue Gala, True Impact Outdoors for disabled veterans, the National Alzheimer’s Association’s Purple Soirée, Orchard Place‘s Moonlight Classic, Principal Charity Classic, after-prom events, Employee & Family Resources’ 60th Anniversary Gala, to name a few. Your support helps us continue to make a positive impact close to home.
4. Unique, Quality Finds
Local businesses like Josephs offer a carefully curated selection of high-quality, unique items that are often hard to find elsewhere. When you shop with us, you’re choosing quality pieces crafted with care and attention to detail—making each purchase something special.
5. Building Real Connections
At Josephs, we value the connections we build with our customers. Many have shopped with us for generations, sharing milestones and family traditions that mean the world to us. Customers often become friends, and we’re honored to be part of so many important moments. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just a customer—you’re part of the family.
So, this Small Business Saturday, think of it as more than just a day to shop—it’s a chance to give back, celebrate local businesses, and invest in a community we all love. Thank you for supporting Josephs and other local businesses in the neighborhood. Together, we’re building a brighter future, one purchase at a time! 💛
