Support local businesses, and ditch the loyalty card.

Kick-starting the economy – what a cliché! Here are some thoughts about ways we can all help:

Buy from small businesses whenever possible. Go out of your way to do this. Try to maintain the habit.

Bring forward projects you have been thinking about.

Look at your small-business suppliers and see if you can place an order earlier than you might otherwise have done.

Put away your loyalty cards when you go to cafés and restaurants. They are going to be desperate for cash flow.

In a nutshell, find an excuse to spend, if you can afford to do so.
