t o s h o p l o C a l l y :
• Shopping locally creates jobs. Shops in our town create local
employment and self-employment. These people,in turn, spend in the
local community.
• Local independent shops invest more in our communities.
Local businesses are proportionately more generous in their support of
local charities, schools and community events. Supporting local shops
means a financial impact on our community.
• Local shops sell a wide range of great products at affordable
prices. Many people fall out of the habit of shopping locally and are then
surprised by the range of products and gifts available.
• Shopping locally saves you money. Out-of-county shops have
done a good job of convincing us that local business equals expensive.
However, if you add travel, fees to transfer items and your time, the
overall cost is often much higher.
• Shopping locally retains our communities. People don't like
losing shops and services in small towns, but don't equate this to how
they spend their money.
• Shopping locally retains our distinctiveness. Independent
shops create distinctive shopping experiences and stock different
products. Local businesses respond quickly to the needs of local
customers, stocking products to meet the changing population needs.
Shopping locally saves the environment. Local shops often stock
a high percentage of local sourced goods which do not require long car
and bus journeys, helping to reduce our global footprint.
• Local shops are for everyone. Most people can get to their local
shops easily and this is especially important for the elderly and young
generations and those without transportation.
• Local shops value you more. Evidence from numerous surveys show
people receive better customer care and service locally. These businesses
survive by their reputation and repeat business, which means you get a
higher standard of service.
• Shopping locally saves services. Private and public sector services
tend to cluster around shops. As shops disappear so do hairdressers,
banks, restaurants, etc.
