#wepledgelocal campaign to support local business in Mackay Isaac Whitsunday
Greater Whitsunday Alliance (GW3) has launched a community activation campaign #wepledgelocal designed to encourage the community of Mackay Isaac Whitsunday to love their local business and keep supporting them however they can.
Greater Whitsunday Alliance Chief Executive Officer, Ms Kylie Porter said there was never a more important time for everyone to come together as a community and support Mackay, Isaac, Whitsunday (MIW) businesses.
“The #wepledgelocal campaign is a promise for everyone to love our local, through good times and hard. And there are no more challenging times than what we are experiencing right now,” said Ms Porter.
“This campaign will focus our positive energy and actions into one tangible goal: to support our regional businesses and to ensure they have a future beyond this current crisis.”
Ms Porter said the campaign has two main objectives.
“Firstly, we want to provide a place to showcase and promote our region’s creative business solutions and offer tangible ways for our community to keep supporting local businesses.
“Secondly, we encourage businesses to use the #wepledgelocal Facebook group and hashtag to share important content and resources to help our local businesses trade through these unprecedented conditions,” said Ms Porter.
Ms Porter said supporting the concept was easy:
If you can, keep spending with local businesses to keep our local supply chains strong!
