Millions of shoppers pledge to vote with their feet and support small businesses

Millions of shoppers have pledged to vote with their feet and continue to support small businesses - after turning their backs on larger chains.

Lisa Jacobs, UK managing director at Funding Circle said: “It’s been fantastic to see how communities have come together to support small businesses at a time when they need it most. The research also found 46 per cent of those polled are encouraged to buy from small businesses by the unique products they offer, while 42 per cent said high quality goods entice them.

Two-fifths even said they prefer independent brands, while only nine per cent feel this way about large chains. A third of shoppers have bought from a local bakery while 20 per cent have purchased something from an E-commerce store, such as an online craft shop or book outlet. “While our website has seen a surge in demand during lockdown, our wholesale and physical stores faced more difficulty with stores initially closed and subsequent social distancing measures.
