OUR new Made in Wales section is now up and running on the website, with members of our Ewegottalove Wales Instagram Community (@ewegottalove) the first to be invited to showcase their services and products.
Feedback so far has been positive from the small business and online trading community, who are slowly emerging out of lockdown like an army of Welsh dormice waking from their long hibernation slumbers.
The first 50 Welsh small businesses to be featured on Made in Wales will be able to show off their wares completely free of charge as Ewegottalove does its bit to help companies and sole traders to re-establish themselves after 14 horrendous and damaging months of the pandemic.
Ewegottalove is keen to be involved in helping Welsh business back onto its feet and that is why we have been consulting with Business Wales for advice and support about the best way forward post-lockdown.
A walk around you local high street almost anywhere in Wales right now will demonstrate the devastating impact of the covid pandemic on businesses everywhere, with To Let signs posted outside many desolate premises, including some of the biggest names in the world of retail.
With close to a quarter of a million private sector enterprises in Wales, accounting for more than one million employees, there is a need to consider shopping local, buying Welsh and supporting small businesses wherever possible.
Ewegottalove has been offering free promotion to small Welsh business enterprises on its Instagram feed throughout the past six months and now we are stepping things up by offering more free support via Made in Wales during the first few months out of lockdown.
We are already seeing evidence of businesses helping each other out by engaging in new partnerships and collaborations, but we hope that the Welsh public will now step up and help them through these critical times by seeking out the many and varied gifts, products and services in our expanding Made in Wales section and help to put the ailing Welsh economy back on the road to recovery.
