Support Small Business Saturday!

December 6, 2013 missV 2 Comments

This Saturday is ‘Small Business Saturday’ and it’s all about encouraging people to support small businesses across the UK, both on the day and beyond. Being a small business ourselves we’re strong believers in supporting local companies and other makers and will be doing our bit to spread the love by investing in them throughout the Christmas period rather than choosing big companies. 
It might cost a little bit more, but it makes such a big difference. The world would be such a boring place with only Amazon and iTunes, don’t you think? 
pretty packages all wrapped up to be sent out!
There would be no personal touches, less new ideas… Have you ever seen Wall-E? Who want’s a future like that? So, instead of ordering from Buy N Large make someones day and support a small business and your favourite local shops, restaurants and bars on Saturday the 7th December. You’ll find the experience is much more enjoyable and personal… plus you might find something extraordinary too!

If you have your own small business you’d like to share a link to, please add it by commenting on this post – it’s good to stick together and share the love 😀
