“80% of Local Spending stays Local” – Bray Retailers
Bray Retailers join forces to launch their new “Shop Local” poster.
The Bray Retailers have joined forces to launch their latest initiative – the Shop Local campaign. Highlighting the top 10 reasons for shopping local, Anne-Marie Holland, instigator of the Shop Local campaign said “If we all make a conscious decision to support our own community, more good things will happen to the town where we live, and where we live is pretty important to all of us.”
In a bright and colourful inspiring poster, Bray citizens are reminded of the benefits of supporting their local shops. The Shop Local message will be on display throughout the town over the coming weeks. Bray residents are being encouraged to shop locally because when you spend your Euros at an independent local business, you keep more money in your home town.
The Shop Local promotion is the 3rd stage in revitalization process that the Retailers have undertaken in conjunction with the Rejuvenation Committee, Bray Chamber and the Bray Town Council to revamp Bray Town Centre. Other projects have included the beautiful summer hanging baskets and the painting scheme.
The poster lists the10 great reasons to Shop in Bray:
Protect local jobs, Create new jobs, Enjoy personal service, Choice of top brands, Strengthen local economy, Strengthen local economy, Reduce carbon footprint, Build community spirit, Develop Bray’s future, Encourage local investment, Protect your town.
The Bray Retailers are currently preparing a campaign which will run in conjunction with the posters. This campaign will consist of a voucher book which will be distributed to 14,000 homes in Bray and will be launched shortly. Any retailers interested in getting involved in the campaign or getting a poster please contact Bray Chamber at 01-282848. To view poster, please click here.
