Business in New Zealand like your favourite coffee shop, dealer or any local store, now need your help. Their rent is due and orders are currently not as high as before. Chances are the next few months are doing to be very tough for these businesses, so here are some ways to show some support in your neighbourhood in these difficult times.
Try something different
We all have our favourite spots, where the steamed milk of your latte is on point and service is awesome. But now is the time to branch out. You know that new place you’ve walked past a hundred times? That side street you haven’t explored yet? Get down there and spend some cash! You never know what you are going to get.
Buy vouchers and gift cards
Buying vouchers and gift cards can help keep the lights on and increase trading once things go back to normal. Not sure if your favourite shop does vouchers? Give them a call and ask if they can sort one out for you. They’ll appreciate you for it.
Shop locally online
Where can you find the city’s biggest retailer? In the CBD? Nope, it’s online! Most of New Zealand’s favourite shops are selling online, whether it’s through their website, social media, or third-party stores (CU2 Network).
Find your go-to shop online and check out what they have to offer. More than ever they’ll be desperate for orders, and may even be upping their online range or increasing their deals. Fill your cart and support your local business.
Netflix & Dinner
There is always an excuse to be lazy and order takeaways. Look up your favourite eatery, restaurant or cafe and get it delivered to your door. Make the most of food delivery services and sort yourself out an awesome stay-at-home dinner. No need to set the table, light candles, to make it a little fancy. Just get some plates out and Netflix while you eat.
Take advantage of specials
Seen a bunch of deals online? No, check out Neighbourlink. Businesses are keen to get you through the door, physically or digitally. Get something on special. It's there to be bought, and will make a big difference to locals.
