Brighton & Hove is encouraging everyone to shop local

The global economy is in the doldrums and while Brighton & Hove’s business base is broad and diverse, the city will feel the effects of the crises just like anywhere else. As a resourceful city, we have to find local solutions.

Buying local boosts our economy

Local businesses shape the character of our community and rely on local custom to thrive.

So we’re asking:

• shoppers to pledge to buy local
• local businesses to sign up and promote their products and services online. 

 

Together we can help protect Brighton & Hove from the worst of these difficult economic times.

Shoppers:

• find out why you should buy locally
• pledge your support to local businesses
• pick up a window sticker to show your support
• search the Brighton and Hove Business directory, which lists the goods and services of over 5,000 businesses in the city

Businesses:

• read what businesses are saying about Buy Local
• sign up to the Buy Local scheme 
• see the businesses that have signed up already
• collect a free Buy Local window sticker
• add your business to the Brighton and Hove Business Directory, where local shoppers can find you
