✨ Member Moment Monday ✨
As part of National Women’s Business Month, we’re celebrating some incredible women-owned businesses right here in Alaska! 💪🏽💖
🗺️ @rormakes : Aurora Hablett’s got your trail obsession covered! Her maps and keepsakes showcase Southcentral Alaska’s best routes in a fun and fabulous way. Why settle for ordinary when you can take home adventure-inspired art?
📚 @islanderbookshop : This community-powered bookstore is all about Alaskan gifts, cozy blankets, and books that make self-care a breeze. Shop local and skip the Lower 48—everything’s better up here!
🌌 @Auroraborealisnotifications : Still haven’t seen the aurora? North Pole, Alaska, sees it all the time! Clear skies, late nights, and they’ll help you spot the magic. It’s time to catch the lights!
🐟 @AlaSkins907 : 100% wild Alaskan fish treats for your pets—halibut, cod, and salmon, no fluff. With CBD treats, toys, and more, your pet’s never had it this good. Available online or in 60+ stores across Alaska!

💡 What is the Local Multiplier Effect?
When you spend locally, your dollar does more than just pay for goods or services. It powers a chain of benefits within the community! Every dollar spent at a locally-owned business gets reinvested through wages, supplies, and services—strengthening the entire economy.
For example, when a local café sources bread from a nearby bakery or hires a local graphic designer, that money stays circulating in the community. This ripple effect boosts employment, supports other small businesses, and enriches the local economy.
✨ Why It Matters for Alaska:
Given Alaska’s geographical distance, every dollar we spend locally becomes even more impactful. Supporting Alaskan businesses fuels job creation, keeps wealth in the state, and encourages new businesses to grow.
By choosing to shop local, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in your community`s future.
