We are backing Small Business Saturday 2015 and hope you get behind the campaign too! Small businesses like us here at Create Gift Love are trying to keep the UK retail landscape as diverse as possible. We rely on consumers to purchase from us with the lead up to Christmas to make our business sustainable for the rest of the year.
All you need to do to participate is to buy something from a small business today and use the hash tag #SmallBizSatUK on any social media platforms to spread the word. There are lots of reasons to shop with small businesses, here's just a few:
1. Your spending will help to boost the local economy
2. It is the ethical choice
3. They sell quirky, one-off things
4. You'll be supporting British entrepreneurs
5. You can help build communities
6. You might get a better deal or some good advice
