Today Gedling Eye is throwing its support behind our amazing local businesses in the borough – and we are now urging you to do the same.
We are proud to now be able to launch our Shop Local business campaign to encourage people to spend their money locally in the run-up to Christmas – and beyond.
The main aim is to promote all the fantastic traders we have in the borough and remind our readers they can invest in their communities by investing in local businesses.
But we also want the campaign to make people in the borough aware that Gedling Eye isn’t just here to deliver local news – but also to be your community champion and help support our local causes, charities and businesses when we can.
Gedling Eye’s commercial director Justin Doddy said: “In the coming weeks we will be working hard to promote our independent local businesses on our website and our social media channels, to help spread the message that they are open and highlight why they are so valuable to this community.
“I would urge all of our wonderful readers to show their love for our local independent traders by supporting them, especially over Christmas, which is a crucial time for them.
“We reach a huge percentage of the local population across our well-established news website and social media channels, so we are really confident that we can really help give our local businesses a much-needed push over the coming weeks and months.
“We will be showcasing a number of local businesses from across the borough to our readers every week and any business that would like to be considered for inclusion in the campaign should email thevibe@gedlingeye.co.uk.”
