Supportland

A bipartisan investigation by the House Antitrust Subcommitee has found that Amazon and other tech giants have engaged in extensive anti-competitive conduct. Now, congress needs to act. Sign the petion to #SupportLocal! #IndieBiz #LocalBiz #BuyLocal #AMIBA actionnetwork.org/petitions/inde…

@juliannebrands this is more than a tweet, email katrina (at) supportland.com

So I’m really curious as to why this did / did not work. Demand side problem? Supply side? I wonder if the credit card would change behavior / increase revenue streams?

@ChrisTeso @dtboyd @turoczy @juliannebrands @pdxmitch @irishem333 @PDXStephenG @bumped @piepdx yep, should write a book on it 🙄

@dtboyd @turoczy @juliannebrands @pdxmitch @irishem333 @PDXStephenG @bumped @piepdx Yea wasn’t that @supportland? Not CCs, but local network + rewards.

Are there “Buy Local” credit cards? Like, any $$$ spent w/in say PDX city limits go towards rewards at local businesses?! cc: @pdxmitch @irishem333 @turoczy @PDXStephenG do y’all know??

@supportland @StarveUps @ImmixLaw your babes were so little then!

Now that LaunchPad, one of the best learning opportunities for #pdx entrepreneurs is starting tonight, I’m feeling nostalgic! Here’s a 📷 from 2013 when the Supportland kiddos were stuffing bags for biz newbies with @sockittomesocks 💕 @StarveUps @ImmixLaw

Our very first website back in 2007 was pure crazy pants! But it makes me 😊 #pdx #local

Bank lending to small businesses has dropped 12% in the last 8 yrs. That’s a direct result of banking consolidation & the loss of local community banks.

TRUTH #pdx @NWSPortland

Does anyone remember when we used to hand wrap every Supportland card? Here’s a pic from one of our 2010 wine-drunk wrapping parties with the best volunteers in the biz 😊
