15th of August is the Independence Day & 16th of August is going to be the Indian Independents’ Day.
Independents’
Day will fly the flag for local retailers across the country: the
businesses and the people behind them, who help make our villages, towns
and cities so diverse, colorful and so very special. It’s all about
championing diversity and recognizing the skills, efforts & the
free spirit behind the shop-front.
The
day will highlight the important role smaller, local, independent
retailers play in our local communities they have been serving for
generations, the local economy they contribute to, and in the retail
sector as a whole.
The focus of the campaign is multi-fold:
Encouraging consumers to shop local, to
celebrate their favorite independent retailers, to remind themselves of
the fantastic shops within their neighborhoods, and to go out there and
bring forth that love.
Encouraging independent retailers to create a buzz to increase consumer engagement, footfall and sales. To let everyone know that they are proud of the contribution their small business makes.
Encouraging suppliers and all those who serve the independent retail sector to spread the word.
To support the retailers in delivering experiences, to add to the
excitement; remembering that Independent Retailers are often a critical
route to market for a wide range of product designers and producers.
My organization (AaramShop)
will support this initiative in multiple ways and would like to welcome
supporters of the Independents to come together in various ways to show
our appreciation and support.
To get involved in the initiative as an individual, corporate, government or association; please write to me.
