I happen to like it when companies spend money in my community, so I am more likely to buy things from companies that do so.
more likely how though?
Like now you go and see if they have something you need or want...
or you buy goods or services from them versus another location offering the same product or an equal service (this one I get even at a markup, unless we're talking about a material difference in price and the product isn't cheap)
I guess I just want to know if you'd buy something not as good or that you wanted less.
I get spending the extra markup for the same shite if it makes you feel good and doesn't really cost you significantly more. I guess I just don't get the notion that "holy shite I would buy this or sign up with them in a heartbeat if only they didn't/weren't/hadn't BLANK

quote:Personally, I'm not going to buy something that I don't need or want just to support a company doing something I like. It would be better to just do whatever with my money directly, rather than funneling through a company, obviously. But if I can get something I need/want at the same time, I would pay a premium for something if it supports something I like (because it saves me the time of directly supporting it myself).
