We are a social enterprise, driven by young people focused on encouraging residents, workers, student and visitors of boroughs to reconsider their spending habits.
We want to show the benefits of shopping, eating and entertaining locally.
GetMoreLocal have developed loyalty card system in order to promote local businesses new customers and reward existing ones. The scheme will be supported by promotional events organised to raise the profile of our enterprise and to reunite the community.
Current consumer spending habits are proving detrimental to local communities; supermarkets and global chains are strangling the growth of independent businesses, and as a result wealth is being redistributed into other areas – leaving local economies struggling. This cannot continue.
Independent businesses give an area its character. They provide a vital service to the community; aiding social cohesion, keeping wealth in the area, and standing out as a familiar friendly face amongst the chain stores.
When you join GetMoreLocal you become part of a business-to-business community, gaining access to business support, resources and valuable exposure to larger clients, as well as receiving multi-channel promotion for your services.
You benefit from intelligent marketing strategies which draw on our expertise in advertising, events and public relations.
You benefit from our extensive business-to-business contacts, enabling you to profit from exposure normally unavailable to independent businesses.
You benefit from having a dedicated and energetic team helping your business to attract and keep new customers using an approach tailored to suit you.
Our focus is on the boroughs of Camden, Islington and Hackney – three of the most diverse and exciting areas of London. These are colourful communities that continue to inspire creative talent and generate the development of innovative and original new enterprises.
The GetMoreLocal loyalty cards will be available online as well as at local libraries, doctors' surgeries and community centres. Advertising and promotional activities will take place online and throughout the boroughs.
GetMoreLocal launched to the public in May 2010 and we have an incentive for the first 500 businesses who sign up: a free 30 second video or a 30 second radio feature advertising your business.
