It’s tough being a small business, there are so many big corporations who can outspend us on marketing and outprice us with products. But small businesses are a lot more than a new product or a different brand. They really are the lifeblood of a community. That is why we put small brands and businesses at the forefront of our days. We want you to discover somewhere new for a coffee, to buy a book in person from a local shop and give your time and money to the small businesses that line our streets rather than going to the chains and big names that are all too easily found. There are so many reasons why a Tailored and Made day supports small businesses but we’ve collected some of the benefits your local independents bring to show why you should shop small and support your local businesses through our days, both at home and out and about.
