Buy Local
Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s
business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store. In an
effort to promote Conway, we are distributing decals that say “Check us
out at www.Conway.sc,” in hopes that local shoppers will visit the site
to find local restaurants, clothing, specials, coupons and more. We are
doing our part, so please join us, and promote your local merchants, and
everyone will benefit!
Top Ten reasons to Think Local in Conway
Buy Local - Be Local – Help Downtown Businesses

1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and Conway. Many studies have

revealed when you buy from an independent, locally owned business in
the Conway area, rather than a nationally owned businesses,
considerably more of your money is used to make purchases from other
local businesses. Downtown businesses continue to strengthen the
economic base of the Conway community. These include case studies
showing that Downtown Conway owned businesses generate a
premium in enhanced economic impact to the community and
our tax base.

2.Support Conway Community Groups: Non-profit

organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller
Conway area business owners than they do from large companies.

3. Keep Conway Unique: Where we shop, where we eat and

have fun -- all of it makes our home. Our one-of-a-kind Downtown
businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of Conway.
Conway tourism businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation
they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of be-
ing someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National
Historic Preservation Trust.

4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses

in Conway can make more local purchases requiring less transportation.
This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat
loss and pollution.

5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the

largest employer nationally and in Conway area community, provide the
most jobs to local residents.

6. Receive Better Service: Downtown businesses often hire

people with a better understanding of the products and services they
offer, and take more time to get to know customers.

From The Editor
- Continued
7.Invest in the Downtown
Conway Community:
Local Downtown businesses are
owned by people who live in this
community, and they are less likely
to leave, and are more invested in
the community’s future.
8. Put your Taxes to Good
Use: Conway businesses require a
relatively little infrastructure invest-
ment and make more efficient use
of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering
Downtown.
9. Buy What you Want,
Not What Big Advertising
Budgets Want you to Buy:
A South Carolina marketplace
comprised of tens of thousands of
small businesses is the best way to
ensure innovation and low prices
over the long-term. A multitude of
small businesses, each selecting
products and services based not on
a national sales plan but on their
own interests and the needs of their
local customers, promises a much
broader range of product choices.
10. Promote Local
Prosperity: An escalating body
of economic research shows that in
an increasingly homogenized world,
entrepreneurs and skilled workers
are more likely to invest and settle
in communities that preserve their
one-of-a-kind businesses and
distinctive character.

Charleston’s Office Of Cultural Affairs
launches www.CharlestonArts.sc, as thier
new arts Web Site
From: Charleston Currents

The City of Charleston’s Office of Cultural Affairs has launched http://www.CharlestonArts.sc, a companion
Web site to the OCA’s primary page at the city’s official site.

CharlestonArts.sc will be updated daily with information and features, including an arts calendar that users
can search by date, artist, presenting group or venue; social networking widgets; and a directory of local arts
and cultural organizations and venues.

“We are hopeful that CharlestonArts.sc will be a major benefit to local artists and arts organizations by
disseminating information about their events with the most up-to-date information to a broader public,” said
Ellen Dressler Moryl, director of the Office of Cultural Affairs.

Other options for users at CharlestonArts.sc include the following:

• Arts organizations can download forms from the Office of Cultural Affairs, submit events, update contact
information and compare performance dates with other area organizations.

• The Tools for Professional section of the Web site features job listings for arts professionals, including full
time and part time work as well as internships and volunteer opportunities with arts and cultural
organizations in the tri-county area.

• Updated grant opportunities for arts organizations, with detailed information, including deadlines,
application and contact information.

• Call for Submissions and Call for Auditions pages with details about the location, deadlines, fees and
additional requirements.

The new Web site also hosts connecting pages for general information on the Office of Cultural Affairs and
its projects: the Charleston Farmers Market, the City Gallery at Waterfront Park, Holiday Magic, Happy New
Year Charleston!, the Holiday Parade of Boats, the Lowcountry Quarterly Arts Grant Program, Piccolo Spo-
leto and the MOJA Arts Festival.

The Web Site was developed and is being hosted by Carolina Media Services ( www.ONLY.sc) .

you need. You use your back swing to
adjust your distance because you always
want to accelerate through the ball. You
never want to the club head to decelerate.
Also open the club face if needed to
decrease the distance the ball will travel.

Use the “bounce” on the club to launch the

ball out of the sand. Don’t worry too much
about the definition of bounce but try this
the next time in the practice sand trap.
Take your sand wedge and swing at the
sand. Vary the angle the club hits the sand.
When you bring the club down steeply you’ll
take a lot of sand and leave a large “divot”
in the sand. Decrease the angle that you
strike the sand until you can feel the club
almost bounce off the sand. Feeling that is
more important than the actual definition of
bounce. The key is to have this bounce feel
when hitting the ball out of the sand.

Open the club face and aim slightly right

with an open stance with the ball forward in
your stance, slightly off of your left heel for
right handed golfers. When you swing follow
the line of your feet.

Keep the weight on your left foot and don’t

try to lift the ball, let the club do the work;
trust me the club will lift the ball.

Neighborhoods
1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew up a
long time ago. Today, because of golf courses,
shopping areas, subdivisions, jobs, schools, and
a transient society, a neighborhood means
different things to different folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a dozen
or so houses, and be as many as thousands of
homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, and perhaps
close to universal, since most people in
urbanized areas would probably consider
themselves to be living in one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and always
accessible, since you are already in your
neighborhood when you walk out your door.
5. Successful neighborhood action frequently
requires little specialized technical skill, and often
little or no money. Action may call for an invest-
ment of time, but material costs are often low.
6. With neighborhood action, compared to activ-
ity on larger scales, results are more likely to be
visible and quickly forthcoming. The streets are gener-
ally cleaner; the crosswalks are painted; the trees are
planted; a festival draws a crowd.
7. Visible and swift results are indicators of success;
and since success is reinforcing, theprobability of
subsequent neighborhood action is increased.
8. Because neighborhood action usually involves
others, such actions create or strengthen connections
and relationships with other neighbors, leading in turn
to a variety of potentially positive effects, often hard to
predict.
9. Over and above these community advantages,
neighborhood activity may simply be enjoyable and fun
for those taking part.
But in addition to these benefits, considerable research
indicates that strong and cohesive neighborhoods and
communities are linked –quite possibly causally linked –
to decreases in crime, better outcomes for children, and
improved physical and mental health. The social
support that a strong neighborhood may provide can
serve as a buffer against various forms of adversity.
Sometimes a neighborhood isn’t a neighborhood until
an event occurs, which draws people together, to
become “neighbors”.

 Commercial Real
Estate – Renting
in Today’s Market
First make sure that the area you have
chosen is right for your intended business.
If you plan on expanding, take that into
consideration. Do you need to be close
to an expressway, or the local airport?
Before you decide, think ahead, because
you may be getting into a long term
commitment.

Make sure that any space you’re

considering is big enough for both your
current needs, and your foreseeable
growth. Be realistic and never over-
commit.

Do your homework beforehand.

Investigate traffic patterns; tour the area
and building. Find out who the previous
tenant was, and why the business left.
Learn what kinds of marketing the location
does in support of its tenants (if any) and
whether co-operative marketing funds are
available to you.

www.Conway.sc Online Magazine | 2009 21

Weigh the benefits of guaranteed
foot traffic at a mall location
against premium rent. Some
malls require that all tenants
stay open during mall hours, and
pay for common area usage as
well as the store’s own space
and upkeep. Stores may also
be asked to pay a percentage of
sales to the mall.
Identify your closest competitors.
Also check out neighboring
businesses with an eye for
complementary products or
services. If you are locating in a
mall, check the lease agreement
for any guaranteed protection
against competition.
Evaluate whether the physical
location and space is a good fit
with your product line. Do you
need a large, bright space or is
an office warehouse sufficient?
Investigate any restrictions
on signage. Signs are vitally
important to retail businesses,
yet many landlords decide on
what a store can and cannot do.
The rules may be even stricter in
a mall, which closely monitors its
physical appearance.
Negotiate the terms of your The time has probably never
lease aggressively. Think been better to start a new
about consulting a realtor that venture if you have a business
is familiar with the area. Never that is not being adversely
accept wording that’s confusing affected by this economy. Just
or that leaves you wondering make sure you get the right
who is liable for what. Ask location……
for the right of first refusal on
adjacent space in case you need
to expand. Negotiate for free
improvements, free rent, and
other incentives before signing
your lease.
Hire a real estate attorney who
not only specializes in lease
negotiations, but knows your
area and, preferably, has dealt
with your kind of business
before. A lease negotiation can
cover tens, if not hundreds, of
terms, and you want someone in
your corner who has seen it all
before.
Know who is responsible
for maintaining the heating,
air-conditioning and other
systems, as well as keeping
up the parking lot and building
exterior. This can be critical in
older buildings. Who pays for the
utilities and trash pick-up?

Time to
Refinance
or
Buy !?
Right now, mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since 1971.
Think about that. Twenty-five
years ago, homeowners were
paying as much as 18% on a
30-year fixed. Today it’s just
a little over 5%.Combine that
rate with the tax advantages of
a mortgage, and you have an
incredibly cheap way to build
wealth, but you better act now.
Real estate guru Barbara
Corcoran has already seen a
tremendous surge in refinance
applications – more than triple
the average – and the number
of people getting approved is
astronomically higher as well,
she says. But that doesn’t mean
the low rates are a panacea for
the ills of the housing market. It
is only once home prices start
to go up that we will finally see
a light at the end of tunnel,
Corcoran says. Until that
happens, we are still going to
have to crawl out of this mess.
“[Low interest rates are] a not a
lifesaver,” Corcoran says. “This
is just a helping hand.”
www.Conway.sc Online Magazine | 2009 25
David Kittle, chairman of the
Mortgage Bankers Association,
has this advice to homeowners
looking to refinance: Do it. Don’t
get greedy searching for another
quarter-point. Lock in rates
now. He is seeing applications
soar over 125% just since
Thanksgiving due to the low
rates.
Of course, you should only
refinance if it saves you at least
3/8 on the rate and if you plan on
staying in your home for at least
four years, Kittle says. Along
with good credit, proof of income
and money by means of a down
payment or equity in the home,
there are certain things every
homeowner needs regardless of
interest rate levels.

In Conway
The Trees Have the Right of Way
Meander: to follow a winding path or course, similar to the turns of a winding
stream or river.

Conway is no stranger to meandering. Trips through our beauti-

ful neighborhoods reveal roads that meander past our oldest living resi-
dents, majestic live oaks replete with Spanish moss. A stroll around our
historic town meanders by world-class restaurants, eclectic shops, work-
ing art studios, and a vintage theater complete with neon marquee.
And of course, no trip to Conway would be complete without ex-
ploring our black water and our meandering Riverwalk along and
atop our beautiful Waccamaw River…Don’t drive by…don’t
walk past…meander through Conway: Our Historic Rivertown.

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
