BARGAIN hunters looking to score a great deal and locally-made products are being urged to try out a new online shopping platform. Click It Local is an Essex-based shopping website which lets shoppers browse independent businesses located across the county. Any purchases will be compiled into a single transaction and delivered at the same time, on the same day, despite them potentially coming from different stores.
Tendring Council has now backed the unique scheme as part of its Back To Business programme and desire to help small companies following the pandemic. As a result, local firms have been given the opportunity to join the website for free until October, which could help them reach customers further afield.
