Bira Launches 2024 Love Your High Street Week Campaign

The British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) has launched the second edition of its popular ‘Love Your High Street Week’ campaign, urging shoppers across the UK to support their local independent businesses.

Taking place from 18-25 November, it is building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, with Bira once again shining a spotlight on the diversity, uniqueness and community-focused offerings found on high streets nationwide.

The campaign has been designed to rally support for independent shops, restaurants and service providers that form the backbone of local communities.

“The response to our first Love Your High Street Week in 2023 was incredibly heartening, with businesses and shoppers alike getting involved to champion the independent spirit of our high streets,” explains Bira’s ceo Andrew Goodacre. “This year, we’re calling on the public to, once again, show their love and appreciation for the small businesses that make our towns and cities so special. By supporting local independents, we can make a real difference in keeping our high streets vibrant and thriving.”

Bira is providing a range of free marketing assets available to stores,including window posters, social media graphics and website banners, to help businesses promote their involvement in the campaign. Shoppers are being encouraged to visit their local high streets, share their favourite independent discoveries online using the #LoveYourHighStreet hashtag, and spread the word to friends and family.

“Our high streets are the heart and soul of communities across the UK, offering a unique shopping experience that you simply can’t find online or in larger chains,” continues Andrew. “This week is all about celebrating that independent spirit and encouraging people to explore, support and champion the small businesses that make our local areas so special.”
