Primal Media Joins Seacoast Local

Primal Media is pleased to join the ranks of almost 100 one-of-a-kind local businesses and organizations that make up Seacoast Local.

What is Seacoast Local?

Seacoast Local is a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting community involvement in local business, agriculture, arts and culture, the environment, and civic life on the New Hampshire / Maine Seacoast.

Why We Joined

We joined Seacoast Local because we love our community.

Adam and I both are returned natives: I grew up in Kittery Point, Maine and he grew up in Gilford, New Hampshire. We've explored other areas, and have chosen to come back to live and work on the Seacoast because we love the people, the energy, and the community.

We Love Portsmouth, NH

Portsmouth, NH and the wider Seacoast area offers a great mix of culture and ideas in a beautiful setting.

Walk downtown to get your coffee and mail and you're sure to bump into friends with a few minutes to chat about politics and what's going on around town. At night, there's great food and tons of events, from plays and concerts to art shows and exhibits.

So much of this great local flavor comes directly from the locally owned, independent businesses and non-profits here in Portsmouth, NH and around the Seacoast.

We Love our Local Clients

And while we work with many great national and international businesses and organizations, we're especially proud to work with the independent local businesses and people that make our area unique.

In fact, many of our clients are also members of Seacoast Local, including G. Willikers! Toy Shop and RiverRun Bookstore of downtown Portsmouth, NH.

4 Reasons to Buy Local

So why buy local? For every $1 that you spend at a locally owned, independent business, 25¢ more is returned to our town than if you shopped at a national chain or big box store.

1. Local businesses support local people. Small, local businesses create more new jobs than big chains, and they spend a larger share of their revenue on local labor than chain stores with corporate headquarters elsewhere.

Locally based businesses also provide some of the most stable employment opportunities in our community.

2. Local businesses buy local. Locally owned businesses buy from other local businesses. They use local services like lawyers and banks, and they work with local web design firms like ours.

3. Local profits stay local. Locally owned businesses help keep more money in our community because local business owners spend more of their profits where they live – here on the Seacoast in Portsmouth, NH and Maine.

4. Local businesses give more. Local businesses donate more than 350% on average to local charities than non-locally owned businesses.
