What
Does "Shop Indie" Mean? We've
all heard of an "indie" record label
or an "indie" film, but you might not
yet recognize another "indie"
revolution, "shopping indie." The
Internet, search engines, Google, PayPal, Ebay,
and so many other online tools are opening the
doors to the indie small business revolution.
Designers and small business entrepreneurs not
affiliated with the mega-bucks of global
corporations and huge established brand names
like Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel, Tiffany,
and Bloomingdale's are fighting for your
shopping dollars. In
America, with the culture of showing support
for the "little guy," a new breed of shoppers has emerged. The "indie
shopper." These kind hearted souls want
products with impeccable quality, fashion sense, unique
flair, and a dash of sass. Indie shoppers
support the gusto of independent small business,
benefit from the
convenience of online shopping, and take pride
knowing their purchase made our day. And,
they know their purchase is not supporting the
abuse of slave labor. Shopping
"indie" means your purchase is helping
your neighbor, your sister, your friend from
school, very hard working, extremely
talented people. People who work insanely long
hours, and only get paid if you like their work
enough to buy it. Join
the revolution. Shop indie. Shop Buckaroo Style. |
