Chester MP Chris Matheson is championing a social media campaign to help promote local businesses ahead of Small Business Saturday on 3rd December.
Chris said: "Small Business Saturday is an annual event celebrating local businesses.
"This year I am supporting a group of tweeters who are using their Twitter accounts to make recommendations about local businesses in the run up to the event this Saturday.”
Twitter users in Chester are invited to tweet their support for their favourite local businesses, remembering to include the hashtag #SBS for Small Business Saturday.
An example tweet might be: "As part of #SBS in #Chester on 3rd December, I recommend [local business] #experiencechester @ChrisM4Chester.”
Chris concluded: "Don’t forget to include me (@ChrisM4Chester) in your tweets so I can drop in and visit a few of these businesses myself.
"The important message to remember though is that in these difficult economic times, we need to support small businesses in our city all year round.”
