Town backs local businesses in Guardamar
The Town Hall of Guardamar del Segura has agreed on a new deal with the local Traders' Association, marking a continuation of their commitment to bolster the town's retail sector. The agreement includes a municipal grant of €7,000 for a commercial promotion program, which will run from October 2025 to September 2026.
The program's goal is to strengthen and promote Guardamar del Segura's commercial network, focusing on independent businesses in the town. The European Union has also financed and supported the program series, providing additional resources for activities such as workshops, networking events, and market development activities.
The program is designed to support activities that will strengthen the town's commercial network over the coming year. This includes organizing a series of campaigns and events to increase visibility for independent shops, as well as tying activities to key dates on the local calendar.
One such event is Local Commerce Day, a recognition of traders' contribution to the economy and social life, which has been in place since 2021. This year, Local Commerce Day will once again be highlighted, serving as a celebration of the town's vibrant retail sector and the hardworking traders who make it possible.
Local traders view the renewed funding as an opportunity to attract more visitors to Guardamar del Segura, as well as to improve customer loyalty and ensure local businesses remain competitive in a changing marketplace. The program also aims to encourage residents to buy locally and highlight the importance of these businesses in the town.
The Town Hall provides financial and institutional support to achieve this, with the goal of consolidating Guardamar del Segura's commercial network. The town's identity as a destination for traditional shops and community spirit is strengthened by the program, as residents and visitors alike are exposed to the unique offerings of the town's independent businesses.
In summary, the new deal between the Town Hall and the Traders' Association marks an exciting step forward for Guardamar del Segura's retail sector. With a focus on strengthening and promoting the town's commercial network, the program is set to bring numerous benefits to local traders, residents, and visitors alike.
