Who Is Look Local First?
We’re so glad you’re here! Look Local First was founded by VizyPay, a small business in Waukee, IA, with a big mission—supporting local businesses across the U.S.
We believe small businesses need an advocate, so we’re here to spread the shop small message and make it easy (and fun!) for consumers to take action. From tips on shopping local to merch that gives back, we’re all about building a community that champions small biz. To the dreamers and doers—you’ve got this, and we’re here for you!

Did you know?
Every dollar you spend locally makes a real impact! Here’s why:
- $68 of every $100 spent at a small business stays in the community.
- Shopping at big chains? That number drops to $43.
- Online shopping? Almost nothing stays local.
That’s why we’re spreading the Look Local First message — because strong communities start with strong small businesses. When you shop small, you’re not just making a purchase — you’re making a difference.
