Local business owners stand together to be stronger
Local business owners took to the streets to hand out flyers and gain brand exposure, leading by example in tough times.
Many business owners across the country faced a similar challenge when the pandemic halted most of the country’s economic activities as consumers stayed home to slow the spread of the virus.
To stay afloat and recover from the sudden blow they had to adapt and find creative ways to change the manner in which they operate.
Although a large number of businesses have failed, others have survived and plan to use innovations adopted during the pandemic to drive revenue and generate new opportunities as the economy recovers.
Local business owners took to the streets to hand out flyers and gain brand exposure, leading by example in tough times.
Owners of Aladia’s Kitchen Strubens Valley; Crowbar – Little Falls; Curves Strubens Valley; and Sandwich Baron Weltevreden Park stepped out of the office and got their hands dirty while they interacted with motorists on the busy Hendrik Potgieter Road.
Aladia’s Kitchen Strubens Valley owner, Aladia Mahomed said trading during these times is not easy, and January was even worse.
“We as business owners got together and split the cost of the flyer, making it more affordable. Standing together makes us stronger as there are enough people out there to support us all,” said Aladia.
According to the organisers, the purpose of the flyer drop was to create awareness of and promote the shops in the Strubens Valley Shopping Centre.
