Buy Local Tees Valley website relaunched
Originally set up during the first national lockdown in March, it aims to support local retailers still open in the run-up to Christmas by helping them advertise their goods and services to local people and underline how they might be operating differently at this time.
The new Christmas area has the opportunity for businesses to link directly to their websites, Instagram shopping, Etsy, Facebook or any other e-commerce platforms, display new imagery and ultimately promote any click-and-collect or delivery services their business offers. The virtual shop front also has new categories and makes it easier for owners to upload more images and product details.
As well as a great resource to give you inspiration for gift ideas and more this festive season, we would ask you to highlight this free service to your friends and family. Please also let any business owners, independent shops, your favourite takeaways – or anyone else you can think of – know about it and encourage them to sign up. If the business is already signed up, please remind them to check and, if necessary, update their information.
