What you can expect to see here

I hope for this website to be a constant source of information and inspiration for independent businesses and their customers. Therefore in addition to the constant directory of independents there will be the following regular features.

Monday Muse - A weekly post featuring an interview with an independent business. If you have any burning questions or would like to be featured please get it touch.

Advice and tips - Mini masterclasses and refreshers from the experts in areas such as finance,
marketing, strategy and where to find that motivation.

Book review - I don't know about you but sometimes I love to pick up a book as a break away from the computer screen. Have you read any good business books? Anything a little unusual and inspiring?

Gift guides - Hand picked gift guides featuring your favourite and as yet undiscovered independent retailers. Perfect for this festive season!

City guides - Let's step away from the Internet, sometimes strolling down your local high street is refreshing and that little boost you need. I am looking for contributors to put together a guide to independents in their city.

Words for the Weekend - Some inspiring words to get us into the weekend. Here's hoping it won't be one full of work!

What do you think? I am unlikely to be able to do this all on my own though so please do get in touch if you are interested in contributing!
