Sold Out in 2 hours!!!! We had a lot more candles this time so hopefully we have a lot more happy customers💕 #fiverfest actually lasts for two weeks – but we don’t seem to manage to be in it for more than an hour or two😂 Safe to say I’m ‘again’ completely overwhelmed at you lovely bunch, the excitement of this morning has been just brilliant 🥰

OMG WOW what a morning, posters up bunting out and people in. The busiest morning we have had in months. Lots of people buying and liking our fiver fest offers, it obviously pays to show you are involved as we have had lots of new customers as well.

So today I’ve been on a little Fiver Fest explore to see what’s on offer. It’s great to hear that the local shops have been busy with people actually coming specifically for FIVER FEST – one lady has never visited #chapelallerton before & came to see what it was all about!

Fiver fest finished yesterday so I just wanted to say thank you to those of you that decided to put their fiver towards my little business. You aren’t just supporting a business, you’re supporting a big, lifelong dream! And now I’m a little bit closer to it.

Fiver Fest has brought the Burntisland community together for many years and it’s always been something I’ve supported in the past as a consumer. It’s a great concept encouraging local people to support their local shops and businesses. Spending a small amount locally makes such a positive impact to the local economy, which can clearly be seen in the creation of a high street that Burntislanders are very proud of. Personally, it’s been great to get to know so many local sellers better and all work together to bring more people to our town to experience what we have to offer.

I was late to the party this time due to having to self isolate so was pleased I had a great response.. I’ve joined every fiver fest up to now and will continue to do so… Love the ethos and its great to see how quick its grown.. A great team, well deserved ::)

Best ever fiver fest for us, we sold out and sold over 100 units. Bought new people in and regulars were buying multiples for friends.

I went in to shops I’ve never been in before, had a lovely cuppa and cake and got some brilliant gifts. It’s such a fab idea to get people back onto the high street.

We’re proud to be supporting @1TotallyLocally #FiverFest from 10th – 24th October and celebrating small businesses and their local communities across the UK #WhereYouShopMatters

Awesome day 1 of the @totallylocally #salefiverfest Thank you! I am literally a second-job-kitchen-table business so any custom from you fine people is a blessing! Keep ’em coming

The best first Fiver Fest day ever! The High Street was jumping, queues everywhere (some even before shops opened). A photographer got 200 advance orders for her 2021 calendar, the butcher got four hours sleep he was so busy with prep and our candle maker sold out online in 9 minutes

We’re taking part for the first time (Sale) and so far it’s been brilliant! A couple of businesses sold out of their offer on the first day and others are posting photos of the orders they’re packing today. It’s great.

A whopping 40 plus snoods have been ordered in one day!!!! I hoped to keep the offer open over the fiverfest but I am only one woman ?? so will have to stop at some point! Thank you everyone for supporting small businesses! Today I went out and had a wander around our lovely town picking up some bargains from sunrise bakery, aye candy and the one one four, then a lovely lunch from The fix.

Thanks to Fiver Fest I have been in local shops today I’ve never visited before. will definitely be visiting them all again once I’ve made my xmas list and booked some time off work so I can be around when they are all open. Such lovely, local produce and some fantastic hyggeligt bits of loveliness.

Fiver Fest definitely brought not only people out to shop, but got Traders working and pulling together. Fiver Fest acted as the catalyst that we all needed to stop worrying about who was in competition with whom, but how we could all help each other to survive. A new spirit of collaboration has been born and we hope to build on this.

The manager of a butchers has just said “we had one lady in yesterday who has lived in Bedford for 50 years and didn’t know Lingers butchers was there until FiverFest.

Took part in @totallylocallyhorwich #fiverfest today by visiting local shops rather than chains. The great thing about fiver fest is you visit places you may not normally go to, see what brilliant items they have and end up spending more…win win #shoplocal #supportindie

We’re 1 week into the fabulous FiverFest & a whopping 218 of you have already made the most of our offer so far. This is a fantastic campaign for independent businesses that has been set up by @totallylocally & we’re so excited Studley is taking part!  Make sure you check out the other amazing deals that are running throughout FiverFest… snap them up before they end ??

Our shop saw increased footfall and really great sales on the first day in a usually quiet month. We also saw new faces coming in during the x2 weeks which was really nice. Overall I feel the campaign and vibrant posters especially did a lot to raise local awareness of the huge potential and benefits that spending locally can bring to our high streets.

As you all know #fiverfest is over and I would like to thank our customers and followers for huge support during this amazing event. Coming in here this morning looking at the empty spaces on shelves and walls made me feel so proud as lots of my own original art work got sold, especially my paintings, and that’s a huge deal for me, so thank you all!Also lots of our artists on board art works got recognised and some have a new fans and followers since #fiverfest.

It’s been a brilliant success. Our fully lined zip up cotton velvet cosmetic bags have been a big hit with our customers. They love that they are sustainably made exclusively for us by a family co-operative in Jaipur, India from the remnants of our chair and cushion fabrics. We’ve sold over 50 in the first week and only have 7 left so might have to think about introducing a new offer!

In Wymondham we’ve had our first day of our Fiver Fest, and from what we hear the day was great for everyone. People were walking up and down the street with their leaflets; two businesses have already been booked up or run out of stock of their offer! One shop that I know has been struggling has sent word that she had more people in the shop in the first 45 minutes than she’d had all week.

Our #fiverfest in #whitleybay has been blooming marvellous so far. We’ve had such positive feedback from our fab independent businesses. It’s been such a pleasure to coordinate the event in our area.

It has been amazing we have loved seeing so many new faces in the shop. Great idea and well executed I’d say, we are even continuing our £5 deal through March.

This promo really made a difference to the Sandwich Sausage Company business in a difficult trading climate.

I thought it was really good! Would love to see this happen more often! Really got me out the house and spending money locally! Also I deffo spent more than £5 in each place I went to.
