Small is the New Mall – Launching Today!
Downtown London is launching a comprehensive marketing campaign to encourage and incentivize shopping downtown this holiday season. Keep an eye out for digital billboards, CTV news ads, radio/Spotify ads and holiday-themed social media content.
Feel free to use #SmallIsTheNewMall in your own marketing material or share the below graphics to help spread the word.
Our team will be popping by each of your businesses shortly to drop off a window decal and paper shopping bags to help promote supporting local this holiday season.
Downtown London Marketplace – Coming Soon!
Downtown London wants to help Londoners support downtown businesses this holiday season…and we have some very exciting news to share!
We have created an online marketplace…think of it as a local Amazon for our downtown!
Your business can list products, services, or gift cards online through this marketplace and consumers can shop online through out site. Consumers can either choose to have their purchased delivered via Canada Post or pay online and pick up in store.
There is no subscription fee to be listed on this marketplace.
More details about how to get involved will be released shortly. If you are interested in learning more, please send an expression of interest to Colleen at colleen@downtownlondon.ca

Downtown London has partnered with the Old East Village to publish a digital Shop Local Gift Guide. The guide will be released on social media and on both BIA websites on December 1, 2020. We will also send a copy via email for your distribution.
