The Importance of Buying Bajan

We hear the ads, see the promotions all supporting 100% Bajan a campaign to get Barbadians to support local products and services. The challenge is out for local businesses to deliver high-value and excellent customer service to ensure that the “buying local” experience matches international standards. Buying locally is vital for many reasons:

  • Improves the development of small businesses and young entretpreneurs
  • Reduction in foreign exchange expenditure when buying local, as this is a major concern for Government right now
  • Helps to boost and maintain local jobs
  • Helps local businesses to improve their product quality

It is not always possible to buy local, of course, but wherever possible we should try to support local businesses and starting with the participating stores on our website is a great start.
