Avoid Amazon this Christmas and use the online shop supporting Bristol’s independents
It’s time to support Bristol’s independent retailers this Christmas season, using the platform Good Sixty.
The website is a one-stop shop, with over 50 Bristol traders on the platform, offering Christmas treats that will be delivered with zero emissions.
“Bristol has a wealth of independent shops and producers, but it really is a matter of ‘use them or lose them’. If we want to help our high streets and food markets thrive, we need to resist Amazon and other retail giants, especially at this time of year,” says Chris Edwards, Good Sixty founder.
“It not only helps generate an income for these great local businesses but also helps to recirculate wealth back into the communities where we live. In fact, there is a 60 per cent greater benefit, which is why we’re called Good Sixty.”
“The great thing about our service is that it really is an ethical, convenient, and competitively priced alternative to shopping with big supermarket chains. As people begin to understand the difference it makes to them and their community, it quickly becomes a no-brainer to support our local independents, especially at Christmas.”
