Driving Miss Daisy Didcot, in collaboration with ShopAppy.com, is encouraging people to support their local businesses for Love Local Day on 14th February
Love Local Day 2023 comes at a time when many small independent high street businesses are under immense pressure due to soaring inflation and energy bills, and reduced consumer spend, so this year it’s more important than ever for people to shop local.
Love Local Day is about sharing the love of all things local. Locals are being invited to nominate their favourite local business online by 14th February 2023 and the winners will receive a gift as a token of appreciation from the community.
Nominations can be made at shopappy.com and the nomination deadline is 14th February. Winners will be announced and receive a special gift on 20th February.
In addition, a £50 ShopAppy voucher is up for grabs for customers who share a picture of their favourite local Didcot spot on social media using hashtags #DIDCOT #LoveLocalDay on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook so get snapping to be in with a chance of winning the prize.
Zororo Mubaya, managing director of Driving Miss Daisy Didcot, said: “We are delighted to be joining in the 2023 Love Local Day campaign as it will give us all a chance to show our love for the many local businesses that provide convenience and services locally for us all to enjoy.”
Dr Jackie Mulligan, Founder of ShopAppy who is leading the national Love Local Day campaign, adds: “It has been a challenging last decade none more so than this last year for our town centres and high streets, but we know there is tremendous love for local businesses in our communities. So we need to champion localism. Nominations will highlight the importance and positive impact these businesses have on the life of our communities and commercial hearts and how critical they are to our social and economic lives.”
