HomeSupporting local trader groups
We help to promote and strengthen shopping districts across the city by supporting local trader groups in their efforts to attract more customers to their areas. We also help to promote them as good places to shop, visit and do business. Our support includes:
Go East Belfast
We have worked with retailers from across east Belfast to promote their area as a great place to shop and do business by launching a website and a unique corporate brand for the east of the city.The www.goeastbelfast.com website and Go East identity promote east Belfast’s three vibrant retail districts:
- Ballyhackamore Village
- Belmont Village
- Bloomfield Avenue.
The Lisburn Road
The Lisburn Road houses a range of local services including unique boutiques, fine dining restaurants, coffee shops, art galleries and professional businesses. The Lisburn Road Business Association has created a website - www.thelisburnroad.com - to inform consumers of the latest news, events and offers from these retailers.
Greater Shankill Business Directory
With our support, Greater Shankill Business Community Forum produced a 96 page Greater Shankill Business Directory for 2010, allowing the local community access to information about local businesses and services.
The Business Directory was distributed to the public through local businesses. Business Promotion Days, will be held periodically throughout 2010 to highlight a Buy Local campaign, to encourage the local community to support local businesses, and highlight the benefits their support brings to the local economy.
The Greater Shankill Business Directory is part of an ongoing initiative of the Greater Shankill Business Community Forum that will also include the development of a website to give local business and community an online presence.
