measuring impact
The multiplier effect is the boost to your local economy that results from locally-owned independent businesses, owners, and employees spending business revenue within the region.
Total economic impact is determined by measuring three components -- the direct, indirect, and induced impacts:
Direct impact is spending done by a business in the local economy to operate the business, including inventory, utilities, equipment and pay to employees.
Indirect impact refers to the conventional multiplier that happens as dollars the local business spends at other area businesses re-circulate.
Induced impact refers to the additional consumer spending that happens as employees, business owners and others spend their income in the local economy.
