Appeal for support for small businesses in East Devon
13 November:
It
is worth giving extra publicity to one of the comments to a post below from Paul
Heyward of Axminster:
In
light of recent posts regarding SME's and their contribution to the Devon
economy, could I possibly ask SIN to publicise SmallBizSat on December 7th which
aims to promote small businesses around the UK. Most East Devon chambers of
commerce are getting on board ( def. Axminster ) and we are trying to convince
East Devon DC that free parking across the district on that day would generate
tremendous goodwill, and financial benefit for all local retailers, businesses
etc.
Many,
many councils across the UK have seen the light already and are waiving all
parking charges for the ENTIRE day and it would be great if SIN / SOS could use
its network to diseminate the news about SBS so that all our town and villages
benefit from a swell in sales. Plus it would be great to see every town centre
full and throbbing with activity after 12 noon with tills ringing, coffee cups
clinking & people chatting.
Your
readers can search for information on Twitter, Facebook, Google or contact their
local chamber of commerce / town clerks. Shops and businesses are being asked to
display window posters, decals, counter stands, stickers - whatever - to promote
the day and help bring vibrancy and activity back into our town centres. I have
emailed the economy portfolio holder at EDDC and I am sure they will do
everything possible to promote something that will help our local economies.
Many Thanks. Paul
