It's Colour Friday! If you know you know, but if you don't...read on! Former Not on The High Street founder @hollytucker has been championing shopping small and supporting local for a long time and came up with the brilliant antithesis to big business Black Friday sales - Colour Friday! There are SO many reasons to shop small. We have it on good authority that Jeff Bezos doesn't do little happy dances every time you shop with Amazon and his fellow big business pals don't either Why?, you may cry! Like smarties (which are also very colourful), we have the answer! Big businesses are complacent and are often not really offering the deals that they claim to be, reeling customers in and almost pressurising people to buy things that they don't really need. Don't believe us? According to research carried out by Starling Bank in 2023: * Two in five shoppers believe they didn't really need what they bought in the Black Friday sales * Almost HALF of Uk shoppers said they rarely or never used their Black Friday purchases * Almost a THIRD of shoppers say they have regretted their Black Friday purchases in the past The answer is simple - shop consciously and support small and independent businesses all year around whenever you can. You will be: * Helping the environment (less landfill, less carbon footprints) * Supporting your local community * Helping to build a fairer society (supporting more pockets, not just a few) * It's better for shoppers (gifting is more meaningful and full of personality) * It shows Christmas spirit (principles before profit, quality not quantity) You can find all of the above information from holly.co/campaigns/colour-friday and @holly.co #colourfriday Our next market is THIS SUNDAY so we are extending and calling this celebration of creatives COLOUR WEEKEND! Come and see us at Marine Troon 11-4 and we promise, there will be lots of small business owners doing happy dances! #colourfriday #hollytucker #marinetroon #wyldethistlemarkets
