Why join buy local? You can ask any of our members – there are some great benefits to buy local membership.

accreditation

Consumers are increasingly looking for assurance that the products, good and services they are buying come from local sources. The buy local logo is recognisable and carries weight with locally minded consumers as they make purchasing decisions.

member2member Scheme

Many of our members offer discounts to other buy local accredited businesses. You can pick up some great deals – like an instant cash sales account with Bennetts Electrical, giving huge savings on electrical goods – and also offer deals of your own, increasing the chance of making new sales through buy local.

networking

buy local consists of a strong and active network of local Norfolk businesses. With exciting networking events and opportunities peppered throughout the year, membership is a great way to build relationships with like-minded organisations.

marketing opportunities

Our members enjoy the backing of the buy local marketing campaign, which makes noise about buying locally – attracting both consumers and other businesses to turn to our directory as a first point of call.

tendering opportunities

Our accreditation process is unique, so companies and organisations across the public, private and third sector who are committed to using local suppliers often turn to us to broadcast their invitations to tender.
