All around the world the 4th of July is known as American Independence day- but in the UK this Friday, we’ll be doing something a little bit different. It may not involve a parade, hot dogs or fireworks, but it sure is something worth celebrating.
Friday the 4th of July marks the return of Independents’ Day- a National campaign that aims to promote and celebrate independent businesses across the UK. Backed by Dragons Den star and top business bod Theo Paphitis, the scheme helps small independent businesses shout out about how great they are, making a name for themselves on their local radar, whilst educating the public on how important it is to shop independently, too. The campaign also helps to make independent retailers more aware of the vast amount of support there is out there that can help them to train their employees, become more competitive, and grow to be the best that they can be. Ultimately it’s all about showing the high street giants how great independent retailers are, and we can't wait to get involved!
As you know, Kitchen Table Projects love giving a voice to the little guys, and we’re all about helping the amazing artisans of the indie world shine on the high street. We want to get them the recognition that they deserve for their amazing products and all their hard work . It’s pretty simple really- but if you need a little more convincing, we've come up with some great reasons why you need to be shopping indie this Friday!
Interested in getting involved? Make sure to check out the Official Campaign website here, or follow them on Twitter here. If you have any great indie stories from the day that you want to share, then be sure to tweet with the hash tag #IndieDay. And make sure to tweet us at KTP- whether you're a retailer or just someone who loves indies, we'd love to hear what you've been up to!
