Well, the competition is well underway, and boy, is it
hotting up...
The leader board is ever changing but we have some very
close contenders. So, I thought I’d just recap on why we’ve launched Britains
Best Luxury and Unique Seller 2011, and also on what you could win!
As you know, being who we are...Frooly, we love to champion independent
sellers.
Why shop with a huge chain, put our towns out of pocket,
wear the same as everyone else, and not bare our identity? First of all it’s really
boring. I don’t want to look like everyone else, not because I don’t like them
(because I do), but because wearing, eating, doing and going everywhere with
everyone else, just isn’t fun. And nobody wants a life of no fun.
Now secondly, I may be out of turn here; I as much as any of us understand
that sometimes, on those awkward Sundays when you’re running out of time and
the in-laws are coming for lunch, that yes, ok, you have to pop to Tesco’s. I’m
not adverse to this, I know it’s not always possible to buy / shop locally. But
if we want keep choice, be individual and support our local economy, we really
need to try.
An astounding 41% of Britain’s towns are now classed as ‘clone’, identikit stores line our high streets throughout the country making individual towns indistinguishable. Another
23% are under threat of becoming ‘clone’- Britain's losing what makes it great, it's diverse communities and maybe even its very own identity?
Ok, so rant over. But please, as you fill up your stockings
with presents this year, see if you can support a cool, independent seller. Or
vote for your favourite and win £500 to spend!
