Have you ever stopped to check where that product / food / clothing you just bought was actually made? Where did you buy it from? At your local retailer / provider, out of town or online?

There are plenty of reasons to buy local apart from the environmental benefits. Local businesses employ your friends and families, spend profits in the community, support local schools, sports clubs and charities and make Marlborough a great place to live.

There will always be something you need to buy that cannot be bought locally. But next time you are in the market for anything, how about checking if you can buy this locally instead? Why support a faceless internet business or a provider in another town when you could be making a difference locally? The internet is a great source of research but not so good at service or advice.

When it comes to your life and personal insurance, why would you bother trying to do this online or over the phone when you can meet with professionals in Blenheim who can provide personalised advice and a range of options to suit your needs? Apart from the added convenience, the ability to access ongoing service locally makes this an obvious choice.  Contact us today to see how we can help you.

If we all changed our spending just a little bit, this would have a huge positive impact in Marlborough. Our challenge to you is to make one small change to your spending habits this week and see what a difference you can make to your community.
