Horowhenua StarThe Horowhenua Star has launched a Keep it Local campaign to encourage Horowhenua residents to shop locally and support local businesses.
We know it’s tough running a business at the moment. Costs seem to keep rising and customers have been keeping money in their pocket, waiting for better times.
But better times – if we’re to believe most economists – are just starting to happen. Progress might be slow, but it’s heading in the right direction.
If local businesses are to take advantage of these better times, they need the support of locals. That means whenever possible, shop in your local town, at your local dairy, clothing store, café and garden centre, and use local tradies.
Horowhenua has just about everything people need – or want – so there’s no advantage in spending money out of the region. Even when prices might be cheaper elsewhere, taking into account travel time and fuel costs, the bargain might not be the bargain you expect.
The Star is a local business, too, so we’re backing other local businesses by encouraging everyone here to Keep it Local. We’ve got logos (pictured) that will reinforce the message when we run one of our Business Profile pages. The logos are available to download from our website for local promotions and business marketing material.
So let’s all help our businesses and Keep it Local.
