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

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

For several years, Vox & Oz has been actively engaged in this approach. After initially focusing on international markets, we chose to refocus our business on our Quebec clientele, a strategic decision that transformed our trajectory. This shift strengthened our connection with the community and demonstrated that economic success depends on valuing our local talent .

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

That is why we are proud to participate in the "I spend LOCAL" initiative, from November 7-9, 2025. This unifying event highlights the richness of our province and offers a concrete alternative to large retailers, often dominated by foreign interests.

Building a prosperous Quebec begins with our daily choices. By supporting local creators and entrepreneurs, we shape a more dynamic, inclusive, and forward-looking society. Every purchase becomes an act of solidarity that nurtures 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.
