Keeping it local: How we’re supporting the growth in the independent retailer sector

 One upshot from the Covid-19 pandemic has seen people rediscovering local independent shops. They have provided a vital lifeline as people have been less able or inclined to travel. Many communities have wanted to support local businesses through the pandemic, and this is likely to continue going forward.

That said, it’s more than likely that at least some previous shopping habits may return as we all begin to something closer to normal. For example, ‘big shops’ may bounce back to pre-Covid levels and to compete with the larger multiples and maintain market share on a permanent basis, independent retailers may need to step up their shopper marketing in areas where high-quality labelling has an active role to play.

Just a few of the ways that Venture retail label solutions can take your retail strategy to the next level. . .

Professional and distinctive labels can help make your brand stand out. Using high quality materials and distinctive designs, an independent retail business can make their mark in a crowded marketplace.
