Independent Retailer Month has just ended but that doesn't mean we can't still pop and see our local retailers to show them your support....
It's the last day of Independent Retailer Month.
As the campaign draws to a close, we'd like to remind everyone that it's important to continue to support our indie businesses today and all year round.
They may be facing challenges like reduced footfall, a drop in customer spending and rising costs, but they are also a resilient bunch who know their customers better than any one else, are adaptable and remain the lifeblood of local communities.
According to Indie Retail, for every £1 spent with a local, independent business, 50p to 70p circulates back into that local economy.
Please support our independent retailers - the next time you're on the high street, call in and see what they're all about. If you like what you hear, spread the word!
