ON Friday, October 30, the Malvern Gazette launches an eight-week campaign to support Malvern's businesses and encourage people to shop local in the run-up to Christmas 2014.

It follows a successful similar campaign last year. You can read what people said about it here.

The campaign comprises:

  • Free front-page promo every week
     
  • Free business profile of an independent trader in the Malvern Gazette every week (businesses will be selected by us)
     
  • Free live shoppers’ blog on www.malverngazette.co.uk throughout the campaign
     
  • Free social media support on Facebook and Twitter for any of YOUR posts that include the #VeryMalvern hashtag (we'll retweet and share your output, amplifying its reach many times)
     
  • Free posters supplied for display in shop windows
     
  • Special rates for those who wish to advertise in #VeryMalvern features
     
  • Free metrics about the campaign's reach on social media
     
  • Campaign social media now live at: twitter.com/VeryMalvern and facebook.com/VeryMalvern

Together we can enjoy a VeryMalvern Christmas!
