Shop local this January

🛍️There are so many great reasons to shop local.

🛍️ Now that the Christmas rush is over, it's a great chance to review our spending choices and perhaps take a little more time, and enjoy our shopping experience again...

🛍️ Explore your local Royal Borough High Street or village and you’ll be sure to find a range of small independent retailers offering something unique, they’re often family-run and their customer service sets them apart from the big brands.

#️⃣ We’ve invited people to tag their favourite local family run business on Instagram and Facebook, so we can help spread the word. We’d love to support your family business too - so if you’re a family business registered in RBWM, please do email us and sign up to our e-news mailing list.

🎨 Local decorative artist Joby Carter has pledged that his popular signwriting books will not be on Amazon as he is keen to encourage people to shop local. In this image you can see an A5 postcard print of one of his hand painted signs which he includes as a free thank you gift when people order a book or fine art print from jobycarter.com.
