#shoplocal
This is a mission driven and passion-based project. The goals:
- To make shopping from local independent businesses easier — easier for both consumers and shop keepers.
- To increase the foot traffic to and sales from DC’s brick and mortar stores, which make our streets and community interesting and rich in character.
- To increase the visibility and sales of DC area creatives, designers and entrepreneurs in the areas of fashion, design and clothing.
