Similar to what some are doing in Korea: issue gift cards that can only be used in local markets to local people: in that way one can ensure the money goes to local business rather than imported goods/internet shopping/whatever.

Another policy in Korea (which is more direct and bigger in scale) is: issuing people money directly via online banking (about a few hundred dollars per person, maybe more depending on your wage status), but put constraints on credit/check card usage such that the money can only be used in certain businesses (mostly shops and local restaurants).
