    Marquette, MI – (Great Lakes Radio News) – The Marquette Chamber of Commerce has officially launched a major campaign designed to encourage shoppers to support local businesses.

    Jason Schneider, Executive Director of the Marquette Chamber of Commerce, joined the SUNNY Morning Show with Walt & Mike today to talk about the campaign and how you can take part.

    Schneider explained that the “Be Local, Buy Local” campaign is being promoted across multiple media platforms and features a smartphone app that you can download to keep a running tab of your shopping at businesses involved in the program.

    He added that from the registrations of shoppers through the app, the Chamber will be giving away gift certificates to use to shop at member businesses.

    Schneider also welcomed new Chamber member, the Zephyr Wine Bar, to the area and talked about it’s opening in downtown Marquette later this week.
