Shop The Neighbourhood(TM) Encourages Canadians to Support Small Businesses and Spend Money Locally
(firmenpresse) - MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- (Marketwired) -- 11/29/14 -- Today, Yellow Pages is encouraging Canadians to make planned purchases locally in support of small businesses and their neighbourhoods during its Shop The Neighbourhood event.
Strategically placed between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Shop The Neighbourhood is a corporate social responsibility initiative of Yellow Pages designed to remind Canadians of the positive impact of spending dollars locally through a six-week awareness campaign which started mid-October during small business week.
Over 200 business associations across Canada have joined the event with over 8,300 businesses offering more than 6,700 promotions exclusive to November 29th, accessible by searching Shop The Neighbourhood on and the . Business participation in the campaign is entirely free.
"Canada''s local businesses are a vital part of what makes our neighbourhoods unique and are often the reason we choose these areas to live or spend time in. As Canadians gear up for the holiday shopping season, Shop The Neighbourhood is about making sure that we all remember that purchases made at local retailers positively benefit our neighbourhoods, our local economies and in turn, enrich our communities," said Julien Billot, President and CEO of Yellow Pages.
In its operations, Yellow Pages also seeks to close the digital gap between Canadian consumers and small businesses. A 2014 research note from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority states that while three quarters of Canadians research purchases online, less than half of small businesses in Canada have an up to date online presence.
Shop The Neighbourhood provides local businesses with the opportunity to update their online presence and experiment with mobile marketing at no cost.
