With Valentine’s Day coming up, February is the perfect time of year to spread as much love and kindness as we can. That is why we are launching the #LoveLocal campaign this month, a series of competitions that will be held across our social media platforms each week for the whole month, giving our followers a chance to win great prizes from local businesses listed with Help Essex Buy Local.

The campaign will help bring brand awareness to businesses involved and increase their social engagement. Those entering the competitions will also be encouraged to show that they #LoveLocal by tagging in an Essex business of their choice, exposing more local companies to our free online directory and therefore helping more businesses gain exposure and share their products and services with local residents.

Small Town Brownies will be kicking off the competitions, with a chance to win one of their delicious brownie boxes. Also taking part will be The Big Bear Cider Mill and Barn Farm Drinks.

If you have a business listed with us, please do not hesitate to reach out if you wish to offer some goodies to be involved in future competition across our social media pages!

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to take part and be in with a chance to win one of the competitions, and help us to spread the word of #LoveLocal.
