• Local independent shops often stock items which are made locally and not available elsewhere so the chance of getting a one-off gift is a major plus.
 
• Local Artisan markets help promote the talents of the next generation of designers and retailers with a constant turnover of new products, and sellers listen to customers’ demands.
 
• Shopping local creates local jobs.
 
• Helps to build a good relationship with your shopkeeper which is more personal.
 
• Local businesses are more likely to use your own business if you use theirs.
