Let’s Shop Local in Wokingham this Saturday

Small Business Saturday 2023 is happening in Wokingham and across the UK this weekend.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to show our support for the heart and soul of our local communities – our independent businesses.

As a local estate agency, we’re committed to fostering a thriving community spirit, and this Saturday is a perfect chance to do just that.

Here are five ways we can all contribute to making Small Business Saturday a success.

1)    Explore local shops: Stroll to the shops and venture into businesses you might not have visited before. Remember, each purchase you make is a vote for a more vibrant community.

2)    Say it loud – spread the word: Use social media to shout out your favourite local businesses. A simple post or a positive review can best highlight these hidden treasures.

3)    Choose services from local independents: Whether you need a plumber, a florist or an estate agent (hint, hint), opting for local professionals boosts the local economy and builds stronger community ties.

4)    Get involved: Many areas host their best events on Small Business Saturday or in the run-up to Christmas. Make a note in your diary to go shopping when these events happen.

5)    Shop locally: The big one. With the festive season approaching, consider buying gifts from local shops, artisans and creators. It’s a thoughtful way to support local talent and offer unique gifts to your loved ones.

Small Business Saturday isn’t just about shopping; it’s about recognising the big role that small, local businesses play in our lives.

They’re run by our neighbours, friends and family – people who care about our community and contribute to its character.  By supporting them, we’re investing in the health and vitality of our neighbourhoods.

It’s more than just a shopping trip; it’s a celebration of community, camaraderie and local enterprise. So, let’s make Small Business Saturday 2023 a day to remember.

Join in, support local and let’s make a positive impact together.
