The “Against all Odds” report published in July 2021 highlights the challenges faced by many local independent businesses:
- The struggle to survive the pandemic has taken its toll on the mental health of business owners – and many are at breaking point
- Despite unprecedented financial challenges, independent businesses have prioritized supporting local communities and maintaining the social fabric
- Independent businesses offer placemakers an opportunity to create a unique experience that cannot be replicated and that they are stronger as a collective.
The opportunity for local communities has never been bigger but there are challenges. And that is what; Localism on Steroids is all about. How can we all collectively invite customers to explore and shop locally, hold their attention and increase their spend with local businesses?
