A Facebook group (Northam BuyLocal) has been created to provide local people information about what is available in local shops.
In these days of Facebook activity declining on business pages it provides an opportunity for businesses to advertise to specifically those who ARE interested in buying local.
We encourage you to advertise and post as many pictures of your business as you wish in this group.
It is very simple and provides an additional platform for local businesses to advertise their special offers or new products and/or services.
