Eat, shop, love local
Shop Local is a message which most people understand and we’re all familiar with the benefits of using our local high streets and supporting independent traders and local companies, keeping money circulating within our own communities.
By buying, giving and using an East Ayrshire Gift Card you can give a gift to more than a loved one or friend, you’re giving support to local people and helping your community.
Business associations
Working in partnership with Business Associations across East Ayrshire, we support a wide range of initiatives to help promote the shop local message and to help drive footfall in our town centres.
Recent partnership working with business associations has led to the East Ayrshire Gift Card and the Virtual High Street ShopAppy, both of which will help support businesses and boost the local economy. We can help businesses with practical advice, help to identify funding opportunities and training opportunities.
If your business community is considering creating a business association please get in touch for more information on how we can help.
