The Local Wishlist

The Local Wishlist is a great place to find gift ideas sold at small local businesses or made by Nova Scotia artisans and producers.  Help keep money in our province during the holiday season by supporting our local small businesses!

We are now accepting applications for the 2013 Local Wishlist! Add your company’s item to the list: localtravelerns@gmail.com with the subject line Local Wishlist.

About the Local Wishlist:
The Local Wishlist was created to showcase all the great gift ideas available from small local businesses and local producers for the 2012 holiday shopping season. Shoppers enjoyed using it, producers connected with retailers and awareness was raised through our multimedia interactions.  With local gift ideas in one place, shoppers told us they found it much easier to shift their purchases to local.

The list was integrated with Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and our blog platform so that shoppers could easily view and share gift ideas with a number of online tools. The Local Wishlist outperformed our original expectations. Leading up to the holidays, close to 15,000 people visited the Local Wishlist, and it continues to get hits every day! There was also a huge response on social media:

· More than 475 likes and comments on Instagram

· More than 400 RTs and interactions on Twitter

· More than 120 likes and re-pins on Pinterest

· 4 media articles (2 television, 1 radio & 1 newspaper) and 3 paper-li reposts

· Participant reports of both sales and new retail opportunities (some as far as Ontario!)

Want to encourage others to shop from NS businesses this year? Spread the word!
