LOCAL BUSINESS SUPPORT
We recently spoke to the owner of a small business which had re-opened and she told us how she hadn’t had many customers and had difficulties applying for support. It was obvious the stress she was under and also how difficult it was for her to get the message out she was open and deal with the challenges of finances and social distancing on her business. It struck us that larger businesses could easily provide some marketing support and practical advice to help get smaller retail and service business up and running.
Jersey Crab Shack, part of JPRestaurants, is a neighbourhood restaurant, so we wanted to help a few businesses that are in our neighbourhood. We’ve got our own huge challenges from Covid-19 but with a bigger team, we can spread the burden. Small business owners don’t have that luxury.
To help our community, we’ve chosen a couple of small businesses in each of the three parishes where we have restaurants so we can help them to get their message out. We’ve collaborated with Andy Le Gresley, local photographer, to get some shots that represent them, and we’ll be posting these on our social media, and also helping with any practical or Marketing advice where we can.
The businesses we’re working with are:
- The Kitchen Cupboard, St Helier
- Smile Laundry, Gorey
- Greencliff Chiropractic, St Martin
- West Collections, St Brelade
- Tina Chatterley Psychotherapy, St Brelade
Please do consider supporting Jersey’s wonderful small businesses – this is a difficult and stressful time for everyone, but Jersey has a strong island community and we’ll get through this by looking out for each other!
