Businesses in Oxted are being encouraged to get involved and encourage customers to Shop Local as part of the government’s EnjoySummerSafely campaign, with shoppers across the UK urged to do their bit and Shop Local Week to help local businesses rebuild from the coronavirus pandemic.
Shop Local Week is part of the government’s Enjoy Summer Safely campaign, encouraging people to get back to the way of life they have missed, while following safety guidelines.
From popping into a local family-run bakery for a loaf of bread, or buying a quirky gift from an independent shop, by shopping locally people can help local business owners and local communities get back up and running.
How can in Oxted can get involved in the Shop Local campaign?
As part of the government’s #EnjoySummerSafely campaign you may have seen the Shop Local campaign encouraging people to use their local high street.
The government have provided some suggested ways that you can use this campaign and, as a business owner, you know what makes your business special and what you offer to customers that they cannot get elsewhere. What makes your customer experience unique and different to what people get online?
Don’t forget to use photos when you post, ideally of your business but you can also use these images.
