Helping Island Businesses to Grow & Prosper
Go Shop Local is on a mission to champion, promote and bring together the best shops on our high streets and local businesses around us that make up the economic backbone of the island economy.
The Go Shop Local has been designed exclusively for independent shops and stores to showcase their business, goods & services in the best possible way.
Our Story
Everyone loves to support local businesses, but online retail giants like Amazon have made online shopping so easy that it actually seems inconvenient to support the stores right around the corner from you! Too bad, because neighborhood businesses offer a wonderful variety of goods and services online shoppers may never know about unless they take the time to visit each one.
That’s where Go Shop Local comes in. Go Shop Local App is a free app that makes it possible to discover the goods and services sold at the brick-and-mortar businesses in your town...online!
Think of it as a virtual High Street for your town where you can discover photos of the goods, services, and promotions hidden behind the brick-and-mortar facades of every business on your High Street, all in a single place on one app.
Go Eat Shop & Buy Local
Go Shop Local aims to be at the forefront of local commerce by championing and promoting the best independent local businesses on our high street and encouraging more people to Eat, Shop & Buy Local more often.
This is achievable by first shaping a new form of commerce that prioritises local over global; and then, by catering for a growing population that demands the latest mobile technology, convenience, and user friendly experiences.
For customers, Go Shop Local provides a smart localised app, based on the “near me concepts” that makes it a quick and easy way for local people to find, connect and engage with local shops and traders around them, whilst at the same time earn, collect and spend rewards for their engagement and loyalty.
Customers only need to carry one app, with all their favourite local brands at their finger-tips.
