Grow your business
Today’s consumers have more options than ever when it comes to shopping. From the mall to big box retail to online, selection and price are big drivers of shoppers’ behaviour. But the convenience and personal touch of a local small business can’t be beat.
Grow locally with Shop The Neighbourhood
Yellow Pages introduced Shop The Neighbourhood in 2013 to promote the importance of local shopping. The aim was to build stronger communities by bringing Canadian shoppers and local businesses together year-round to celebrate the importance of local commerce and its positive impact on neighbourhood vitality and economy.
Your business can help spread the message by arranging a Shop The Neighbourhood event with other small business owners in your community. Participating businesses can download a Shop The Neighbourhood digital cling and display it in your storefront, and showcase a Shop The Neighbourhood banner on their website and social media profiles.
