Covid-19 has cast a huge shadow over the local business community many of whom fell outside of the range of governmental support packages. So, instead of honouring unsung heroes this Christmas, we wanted to help promote our fellow businesses and raise awareness of their amazing activities and products.
Our Queen Bee spent much of the last month out and about in Sussex with video camera in hand interviewing 12 business owners / managers giving them the chance to showcase what they do. The videos have been shown daily on Bees Homes Facebook page.
Each business kindly gave away a gift or a service to be drawn from people who watched the video and liked and shared both our and their pages. As Ana was oft to say, “Sharing is caring!”
The response has been amazing with a global reach approaching 40,000 for the videos. If you missed any or want to revisit them you can find them here: 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway
