Proud to Buy Local

Back Sunshine Coast businesses and watch the whole community thrive.

Why buy local

You can’t buy love, but you can buy local.

Every cappuccino, cupcake, or kayak you buy from a Sunshine Coast business keeps cash circulating locally, safeguarding jobs and fuelling our community spirit. When locals choose local, the whole Coast wins.

Own a business here? Buy Local Sunshine Coast is 700+ local businesses marketing together — local guides four times a week, region-wide campaigns and monthly networking that put your business in front of locals who choose local. With 54,000+ locals in our Facebook group, you’re never marketing alone. It starts with a free listing that takes about a minute to claim.

October 2026 · Guest speaker Sam Tornatore

How To Grow Your Business With Trust-Based Selling & The One Call Sale

In this session, Sam explains why prospects go quiet after a promising conversation and how the Trust Recession has made buyers more guarded. He shares the One Call Sale, where you act like a doctor rather than a pharmacist, uncover what sits beneath the surface of a problem, and agree the next step before the call ends. Sam helps business owners have more honest sales conversations and move prospects forward with confidence.
