I found it in Georgetown - a Shop Local initiative
October 28, 2009 at 8:40 pm , by Jenel Looney
The City of Georgetown Economic Development Department has launched an exciting new website to showcase products from local businesses, and to encourage shoppers to stay in Georgetown rather than spending their money in Austin and Round Rock. When Georgetown residents leave town to buy things they could have gotten here, it’s called “leakage,” and it’s bad because the city loses out on our sales tax dollars. And that’s bad because if our sales tax can’t cover the cost of services, then they’ll have to get that money through other means. When you need something, think of Georgetown first.
IFoundItinGeorgetown.com invites customers to submit pictures and comments about interesting and unusual things that you bought here in Georgetown, even if you bought it a while ago. Click on “Submit Your Favorite” for instructions on how to submit something.
This is a wonderful site that the city is providing for no cost at all to the merchants who are featured on it. And any merchant within the Georgetown ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) can be featured.
