The East Grinstead 'Keep it Local' campaign was officially launched on Monday 3 August. Within the first three days nearly 10,000 gold, wallet-size loyalty cards were distributed free of charge direct to members of the public wishing to support the scheme or to participating local retailers/businesses from whom they can be obtained. Loyalty cards are also available from the Town Council offices and from East Grinstead Library.
The Keep it Local campaign, an initiative of the retailers section of East Grinstead Business Association, working in partnership with East Grinstead Town Council and the local newspaper, East Grinstead Courier and Observer, is designed to promote the many benefits of shopping locally and will give loyalty rewards to those townspeople using their cards, and encourage them to boost East Grinstead's economy instead of spending their money in Crawley, Tunbridge Wells, Bluewater or Lakeside, for example.
Framer Graham Stevens of the High Street Gallery said: "There are a lot of people who want to shop here, so it is up to shops to promote the card and encourage them."
Retailers wanting to add their offers should contact Simon Kerr at the tourist desk - see Contact Details of how to get in touch
Each business will set their own offers, such as a percentage discount, extras with purchase, or free local delivery for example. These offers may also vary from month to month and details of some of the latest offers will be recorded on this site from time to time.
