Description:

As a website that helps to promote local traders and independent shops throughout Bristol, one thing that we hear time and time again is that it’s getting harder and harder for these great Bristol businesses to get customers through their doors – especially when people often don’t know what they’ve got on their own doorstep.

Guide2Bristol is launching the Bristol Shop Local campaign to tell everyone across the city that when it comes to local shopping, now is time to use it, or lose it.

We will be running this campaign across the whole of the city, focusing on the local businesses in each area of Bristol to promote them directly to the people who want to spend money in their part of town. There will be interactive maps posted on Guide2Bristol to show people exactly where to go to get the best in the city.

We’d like to hear from all our readers about the Bristol businesses they use on a day to day basis that give their part of town character. If you’ve got some tips about a local shop that has unique goods or offers great service, post your tips below, or post them on twitter with the hashtag #bristolshoplocal

If you are a local trader, let us know about your business too. Simply send us a note using the enquiry box below telling us about your business in 30-50 words, and we’ll include you in our upcoming features about shopping local in your area.

We’ll also be showing interested local traders the best ways and tips to market themselves online too, so let us know if you think we can help your business get your message out to the people of Bristol.

So come on Bristol – let’s Bristol Shop Local and help give our valued local shops and services a much needed boost!
