The Power of Business Collaborations
Supporting Local Matters
In a world where big retailers and online shopping dominate, small businesses are the heart of communities like ours; they bring character, creativity, and a personal touch you won’t find anywhere else. When we choose to support local, we’re not just making a purchase—helping Tūrangi thrive, creating jobs, and strengthening connections. But supporting local isn’t just about where we shop—collaborating and working together is another way small businesses can grow and succeed.
Every dollar spent at a local business stays in the community longer, helping to boost the local economy and support families, schools, and essential services. Here’s why shopping local makes a real difference:
-
- Keeps Money in the Community – Small businesses create jobs and keep money circulating locally. When they thrive, the whole community benefits.
- Offers Something Unique – Local businesses bring fresh ideas, handcrafted products, and personalised service you won’t find in mass-produced alternatives.
- Strengthens Community Connections – When you shop small, you support real people. You get to know the faces behind the business, and they get to know you.
- More Sustainable Choice – Local businesses often source their products nearby, reducing emissions and supporting New Zealand suppliers.
The Power of Business Collaborations
Working together is one of the best ways for small businesses to grow and succeed. Collaborations open new opportunities, expand customer reach, and bring fresh, exciting offerings to our community.
-
- Reach More People – When businesses team up, they introduce each other to new customers, increasing visibility and bringing more people through the door.
- Creative & Unique Offerings – Collaboration sparks fresh ideas—like a stunning bouquet of flowers paired with a gourmet graze box for two! It’s a win-win for local businesses and their customers.
- Stronger Together – Running a small business can be challenging, but by supporting each other, businesses build stronger networks, create new opportunities, and grow together.
