While online shopping
has proven to be convenient for consumers, that is not the case for retailers,
especially those having a physical business. Indeed, with the lockdown, high
street merchants have been struggling.
That is why ‘Down Your High Street’ has been created. It is
an online platform that supports local shops. It helps independent retailers
sell products to customers via the website. To join it, you have to be a brick
and mortar store.
According to the firm, those who join the platform typically
make up to £500 within the first month and some have reported sales has high as
£450,000 in 12 months. As such, leveraging it is a good business decision.
Moreover, to promote their business, the online platform has
collaborated with the media company The
Mirror. Those who sign up via the latter’s website before the 31st
of October will join a draw. 10 winners will be selected at random. They will
receive a year’s free subscription and commission-free sales from Down Your
High Street. This means that merchants will not have any cost for 12
months. They will also win a Christmas campaign worth £5000.
