About All The Little Shops - Shrewsbury

All The Little Shops / Shrewsbury has been sponsored by Shropshire Enterprise Partnership and BeVivid to help the independent retailers of Shrewsbury.

Funding has meant all independent retailers and businesses in this region can create their own webpage, display up to 30 products and, if they wish, trade online - totally free.

It is easy for a retailer to set up a shop on this website and just as easy for visitors to the website to see the diverse independent retailer offer in Shrewsbury, browse a wide range of products, plan their shopping trip, see what else there is to do “Whilst in Town”.

We hope that All the Little Shops / Shrewsbury will encourage local shopping and increase visits into the shops– but some visitors will be from far away, so we have created a “secure single payment gateway” which means a visitor can buy a range of products from different shops and pay by credit card - with just one payment.

This important initiative is a first for All the Little Shops – the pilot scheme has been successful and the schene is now rolling out across the country – see www.allthelittleshops.co.uk It is hoped that by helping local independents retailers – the soul of our town centres in the UK – they will take advantage of this great opportunity and allow the Internet to help build awareness of their business and encourage more people into their shops.

By joining together and marketing the independent retailers and businesses under the umbrella of All the Little Shops means a stronger voice for independent retailers across the UK. It is hoped this initiative will encourage more independent retailers will join the scheme and put forward other marketing ideas that can be developed under the brand of All the Little Shops – such as simple voucher schemes that can be redeemed in-store, right through to using swipe card technology in All the Little shops nationwide. Your ideas are most welcome.
