It’s time to BUY LOCAL! Now more than ever we need to shift our buying power to businesses in the Lowveld. Covid-19, and its subsequent impact, has had a devastating effect on the economy and local businesses in the region have felt the pinch. In light of this, Buy Local Lowveld was launched six months ago, aiming to stimulate and promote our local economy by encouraging people to support home-grown businesses, owned and run by Lowvelders. How can you get involved? 1) Register your business: Register and become a part of our database. Registration is FREE and takes 30 seconds to complete. Scan this barcode and complete the quick online form. 2) Get your business branded: Brand it with the Buy Local Lowveld logo and become part of the movement that recognises locally owned businesses in the area. Through this branding you are showcasing yourself as a proud Lowveld business that commits to quality products and services at a fair price, with honesty and values that your customers can trust.

I Love Local Market at Crossing Upcoming dates: • Nov 14 • Dec 12 • Feb 13 Farmer’s Market at Sonpark Upcoming dates: • Nov 6 & 7 • Dec 4 & 5 Thank you! A big thank you to Radio Laeveld for partnering with Buy Local Lowveld and providing us with a fantastic platform to show support for local businesses! Each week we nominates two Businesses of the Week that get an opportunity to promote their business live on air. In the past six months Buy Local has successfully nominated and hosted over 40 businesses which have benefited from this amazing campaign. Thank you, Radio Laeveld! To get your business nominated, get registered. Once your business is on the database you automatically get added to the list to be identified for this great opportunity. The multiplier effect When we spend our money at a locally owned business we cause a Multuplier Effect. What is it? Imagine an amount of R1 000 entering our local economy which is then spent on other local goods and services. Say each of these local vendors go out and re-spend that money on more local goods and services. Now, envision this cycle happening several times over before this money is finally spent on goods or services from outside our region. In this case, the R1 000 could easily end up producing several times its value in goods and services by increasing revenue and income opportunities for our local businesses!
