There has never been a better time to look locally for your festive items, presents, and anything else that makes it ‘the most wonderful time of the year’.
When we buy locally, we support our neighbourhoods and give them the best possible chance of remaining lively, sustainable, and successful.
Below are five ways you can support the local economy (and probably bag yourself something unique and personal in the process).
Buy Local or Bye Local
Remember, Christmas is a crucial period for independent traders, especially post-pandemic. We need to use them, or we could lose them.
Vote with your Wallet/Purse
When you buy from a local business you are showing that what they bring to the community is valued by you.
Get Social
Tag the store you bought from in a social media post. It might spark a gift idea for someone else locally.
A Form of Thanks
Many small businesses and shops get involved with supporting community projects and events over the year. A purchase from them no matter how small, shows you’re grateful for their local involvement.
Leave a Review
One of the best things about shopping from smaller, independent businesses is that your purchase really matters to them and the service is often superior to larger, national retailers. Let the world wide web know if your experience with a local shop or business has been a positive one by leaving a Google review or similar.
We’d love to know which local businesses you’ll be buying from in the run-up to Christmas in and around St Neots.
Together, we can make a big difference.
Support #TheStNeotsPromise and #BuyLocal this Christmas.
From us both, have a great week.
