Timely. And as Totally Locally put it…”If you shop online you can now shop local too”. So they’ve created an online space to visit all your favourite small businesses in one place, discover new ones, support your local independents, and shop safely.

As well as my online shop on my website I now have a shop on the Totally Locally website. It is a fab site that represents different highstreets in the UK. The Hebden Bridge one is full of amazing businesses that offer something unique and often handmade. Happy browsing and welcome to my home town x

Firstly, can I say what a fab idea this is?! I just love the whole idea of Totally Locally and everything you stand for, and that you continue to help independent businesses.

Something Sweet

In the tough world that we live in at the moment every small amount helps the individuals and small businesses on here.

This concept is one of the only ways that we can combat the likes of Amazon, who have their place but are dominating the market far too much. For local businesses to compete in the local and global market totally locally is a really excellent tool. I have had orders and commissions through the website from people all over the country and even Switzerland, people who want to buy their friends and relatives gifts locally. I was really cheered by that.

I have also used the website on a number of occasions to buy things from our local shops when I couldn’t get down into town and that has a real feel good factor as I want our town to thrive.

Having a Totally Locally shop as an extension to our bricks & mortar premises has really helped our business the last 6 months. Being non-essential during the pandemic meant that we have been closed more months than open so turnover has been greatly reduced and the mental strain of that has really been felt! This last year has not been about profit but more about surviving and making sure our business still has a presence on the high street – the virtual high street! The fabulous Totally Locally site has enabled us to do this; it’s helped us to stay focused whilst topping up the bank account! We are delighted with how easy it is to upload products and keep on top of stock levels. It’s also been really interesting seeing how far our parcels have travelled too which just goes to show that there is an appetite to shop locally even if you are not local!

It looks great. I’ve just browsed in Hebden Bridge shops/businesses I didn’t know existed or had never set foot in. Like the layout & ease of use. Didn’t need to wear a mask either 🙂

Hello, a quick note to say I think this is absolutely brilliant. Thank you to everyone involved in getting it set up and inspiring the community. It’s great to see this collaboration supporting local businesses, particularly in such challenging times…. You’re amazing 🙂

It’s a lovely little website and so good to be able to support other small businesses from afar! It feels lovely to be able to support other makers and businesses.

This is a great service and a great idea. I’m going to try and get all my Christmas presents this way

We’re online shopping this week from the fab Totally Locally website for Hebden Bridge. This is being rolled out to other towns too. It’s a blooming marvellous initiative!
