Buy Local Scone
The Scone Chamber is a firm advocate for supporting and buying local. We are part of the national GO LOCAL FIRST initiative and encourage others to get on board.
GO LOCAL FIRST began in July 2020 to support and promote Covid-19 pandemic-impacted small local businesses and the resulting shutdowns and economic consequences.
GO LOCAL FIRST’s aim is simple: to urge Australian consumers to buy locally from small businesses in their communities to help get the sector back on its feet, keep Australians in jobs and money in local communities.
GO LOCAL FIRST reaches millions of Australians and collaborates with representatives from all three levels of government.
In just six months, GO LOCAL FIRST was able to achieve significant traction within the community, helping to support small businesses across the country.
It invites you to join the campaign to support small businesses and get Australians to shop locally within their community.
There are several ways you can support and promote the GO LOCAL FIRST campaign.
- Use your digital channels: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn to like and share GO LOCAL FIRST posts, messages, and advertising.
- Highlight and promote small local businesses in your area, and the hero local business owners behind them. Use the hashtag #GoLocalFirst
- Post on social media. Lots of images on the Go Local First website can be used. You could tailor your posts with a photograph or video of a small local business.
