The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of independent businesses, helping them reach new audiences and to strengthen West Lindsey’s ‘Think Local’ message.

Each week, the business with the most mentions is crowned Business of the Week and also receives a free copy of ‘The Retail Champion – 10-steps to retail success’ by Clare Bailey, one of the most well-known and respected retail experts in the UK.

So far, nearly 130 nominations have been made with some wonderful comments showing their support – with three winners announced – one of which was Sweetie Belles in Caistor’s South Street Cornhill area.
