Independents’ Day UK is a campaign that exists to support and promote businesses across the UK all year round, but with an annual focus usually on July 4th: ‘Independents’ Day’ itself - but this year falling across the weeked of July 3rd and 4th.
In the UK, independents retailers account for 65% of the retail outlets in the UK and are at the heart of local communities throughout the country. The resilience that they have shown over the last 18 months has been extraordinary.
After a year of closures and lockdowns, Local Rewards (by Maybe*) is delighted to be lending our support by partnering with Independents’ Day for the second year running.
On Tuesday June 22nd, we launched our tailor made support package for any business, BID, shopping centre, Local Authority or individuals who wish to champion their independent businesses and their High Streets.
Our High Street Champions programme will see us look for people to highlight over 3,600 areas across the UK - and we welcome you to apply as an ambassador for your area.
Anyone can be a High Street Champion, from local business owners to social media specialists, all that we ask is that you’re passionate about your area’s business community.
The role will include sharing information about your local high street on social media, helping retailers cross promote each others’ goods and services - and of course - inviting more people to become champions in other areas.
We’ll supply all of the information, tools, and help you need to promote your area and give you access to a free Maybe* Enterprise Pro account worth over £2000 a year.
