We are delighted to announce the soft launch of the All Things Norfolk on-line Shop prior to the grand launch in a few weeks time. The All Things Norfolk shop will be stocked exclusively by our local independent business members and provides them with a market place to showcase and sell their products and produce on our prime Norfolk site which is popular with everyone who loves all things Norfolk! We have a large number of existing business members who are currently in the process of uploading their products so the soft launch is just a sneak preview of what is in store!

The shop is the latest addition to a number of features that we have launched to help to promote and encourage the use of local independent businesses in Norfolk. Simon Chapman who is the founder of All Things Norfolk said "The All Things Norfolk on-line Shop is a significant benefit for local independent businesses in Norfolk as it provides excellent exposure for their products and produce to the 1000's of local residents and lovers of all things Norfolk Worldwide who visit www.allthingsnorfolk.com each day".
"It is so important nowadays that businesses have an on-line selling proposition to supplement traditional selling methods and the All Things Norfolk Shop provides an extremely cost effective way to receive significant on-line presence and sell on-line. For businesses who currently have no on-line selling presence this is a great way to have their products seen by 1000's of people each day whilst also not being faced with the initial high costs and subsequent monthly fees of hosting their own shop independently (which can of course also get lost in the search engines). For businesses who do already have an on-line presence this will help to supplement their on-line income by having their products and produce for sale on a site which is extremely popular with people who love all things Norfolk and are passionate about supporting local independent businesses"
"The Shop has taken many months to develop but this investment will be of great benefit to independent businesses in Norfolk and again reitterates our commitment and desire to encourage the use of local businesses and the fabulous range of products and produce on offer. We anticipate that the shop will be stocked with such a wide range of products and produce and will expecially be popular with local artists and crafters, indeed the soft launch includes local artist Stuart Roy Paintings. The Shop also has a collect only option and we have already received enquiries from local producers who see this as an ideal platform to sell their produce with a click and collect option, when posting would be difficult"
All Things Norfolk business members will be able to have their own on-line store within the All Things Norfolk Shop as part of their annual business membership which currently costs £52 per annum
* Full feature page about their business including extensive narrative, gallery, links, contact details, special offers, listed in all catagories applicable to business, map

* Social Media promotion including to our 18.9k twitter followers

Not bad for the equivalent of £1 per week! We feel the above package is extremely competitive even before we included the on-line shop as an additional benefitm, with even more being added over the coming months!
