Go Local, Grow Local

The 'Go Local, Grow Local' initiative aims to help Queensland businesses promote their products and services, and encourages Queenslanders to support small businesses in their community by shopping locally.

Go Local, Grow Local also supports communities affected by natural disasters.

Queensland small businesses were recently hit hard by flooding.

Now is the time to really Go Local when buying products and services, to welcome back small businesses in disaster-affected regions.

By going local, small businesses can grow their business, create local jobs and help their community.

Advertising toolkit

The advertising toolkit provides resources your small business can download and use to help promote goods and services, encourage others to shop locally and grow your business.

Resources include:

• posters
• window stickers
• post-cards
• social media graphics
• audio and video files.
