"For every pound you spend in a locally-owned business around 50p to 70p benefits your local community!" How good is that? :) #SmallBizSatUK- Or put another way....
Reasons to #shopsmall #1: For every £100 spent in a local business, £68 stays in the community vs. £43 when spent in a chain. #SmallBizSatUK- The sentiment is further echoed by a recent comment on the Love Your Local Market Facebook page from a market trader "My present buying so far this year has consisted of buying unique, handcrafted loveliness from my fellow stall holders- I'm putting my money where my mouth is folks- try it- it feels soooo good."
- Having promoted the concept as part of our commitment to UK markets throughout the year we are going to highlight some of the activity going on today around the country...as well as all the fabulous CHristmas markets that are taking place today and over the weekend!
