“Awakening the Economic Genius of Local Purchasing: A Triumph for All!”

Buying local is much more than just a consumer gesture. It is a powerful lever for building a strong, diversified and resilient economy. By supporting local businesses, we contribute to a Quebec rich in know-how, creativity and opportunities for all.

For several years, Vox & Oz has been actively engaged in this approach. After an initial international orientation, we chose to refocus our activity on our Quebec clientele, a strategic choice that transformed our trajectory. This shift strengthened our connection with the community and demonstrated that economic success requires promoting our local talents .

The numbers speak for themselves. A recent study by the Journal de Montréal (August 29, 2023) reveals that every dollar spent at a Quebec company generates $0.66 for our local economy, compared to only $0.11 for a multinational. This direct impact shows that choosing products designed and manufactured here creates jobs, encourages innovation and preserves our economic independence.

This is why we are proudly participating in the "I spend LOCAL" initiative, from November 1 to 3. This unifying event highlights the wealth of our province and offers a concrete alternative to large brands, often dominated by foreign interests.

Building a prosperous Quebec begins with our daily choices. By promoting local creators and entrepreneurs, we are shaping a more dynamic, inclusive and forward-looking society. Each purchase becomes an act of solidarity that nourishes our economic and cultural diversity.

Buying local is more than just a lottery, it's a victory we can all celebrate. Together, let's create a Quebec where prosperity goes hand in hand with diversity and commitment.
