This July, be a part of the 5th annual Independent Retailer Month and support independent businesses. The campaign is designed to highlight the importance of smaller businesses, both locally and UK-wide whilst encouraging consumers to connect with businesses to help support their local communities.
The campaign strives for three important factors;
- Impact – to raise awareness of independent stores and how important they are
- Connect - bringing both consumers and communities together
- Engage – to showcase the benefits of shopping with independent brands
Both consumers and businesses can get involved with a host of great resources available to everyone. The Independent Retailer Month website houses a business directory listing all local businesses that are getting involved and you can even get involved with the regular social media promotions using the hashtag #IndieMonth – it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with new and exciting people. But the most important is to visit the independent stores and show your support.
Follow all the #IndieMonth activity on Twitter @indieretailuk, on Facebook www.facebook.com/IndependentRetailerMonthUK, and by visiting the campaign website www.independentretailermonth.co.uk.
