When you buy local, we do a happy dance

As the saying goes, when you shop local, an actual person does a happy dance. Well, at Caxton Local Media, we are all about local, and we want to see businesses in our areas doing their happy dances.

As the leaders in local media in South Africa, we want to be at the forefront of reviving our economy post-lockdown by helping our readers and advertisers to kick-start their businesses right back into gear. Hope is not lost, and with the right attitude and loads of community support, 2020 can still be one for the history books.

Let’s all pledge to support our local businesses, and save 2020.

For our local businesses, we want to encourage you to send us a video of your happy dance – the one you will be doing when the first sales
start rolling in.

In return for your happy dance, we are offering you the opportunity to be showcased to your community – we will share the videos, along with a listing of your business (name and contact number) on our website and social media. You could also win advertising space in one of our esteemed publications – all the ammunition you need to blast through the glass ceiling and on to greatness.

Under the Caxton Cares banner, for the month of June, Caxton Local Media Joburg North will be giving away one combined print and digital advertising package per week. To win, send a video of your #caxtonhappydance to clydem@caxton.co.za, together with your business name, contact name, address and telephone number. Or post it on your local Caxton Local Media Facebook page. The editor will choose one business per week.

Here’s our first Happy Dance to get you into the spirit: 

So, remember – you can’t buy happiness, but you can buy local – and that’s kind of the same thing!
