Why get involved?

Michigan Retailers Association exists for the good of Michigan’s retail industry.
MRA’s Buy Nearby campaign promotes Michigan retailers and small businesses, educating consumers on why it’s vital to
keep more of their shopping dollars in Michigan.

Did you know, if Michiganders redirected 10% of their estimated $36.5 billion in out-of-state e-commerce, Michigan would gain $2.6 billion in gross economic output.

Imagine what this could do to your business! 

The Buy Nearby program was created by the Michigan Retailers Association in 2013.
