Business is booming in Oswaldtwistle after a successful campaign funded by Mary Portas\u2019s high street scheme and local retailers.<\/p>\n

A flyer promoting the town\u2019s shops and services was financed using \u00a31,000 Mary Portas funding plus contributions from retailers \u2013 who say trade has been on the up ever since.<\/p>\n

In a survey carried out by marketing company Scott Dawson Advertising, who designed, produced and printed the leaflet, 45% of shopkeepers included in the flyer said they had seen an upturn in business since it had been circulated, with 10% declaring that trade had increased by 50% within five days of distribution being completed.<\/p>\n

Around 70% of business owners said their customers had mentioned the campaign when visiting Union Road shops.<\/p>\n

Sean Reid, owner of The Chippy, said customers have been \u201cbuzzing\u201d about the leaflet, while Kevin Aaron, of K & S Aaron Butchers, said many customers had been prompted to take a walk down Union Road after picking up the leaflet up in Oswaldtwistle Mills.<\/p>\n

Azar Iqbal from Oswaldtwistle Pharmacy said: \u201cWe\u2019ve already requested more flyers to put into bags with prescriptions and we plan to put a screen up in the shop to show all of the videos featured in the leaflet on a rolling loop. It\u2019s been fantastic for Oswaldtwistle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gayle Knight from the Oswaldtwistle Town Team said: \u201cThere has been a lot of negativity about how Portas Pilot funding is being spent but our campaign shows a little financial support can go a long way towards enticing people back to their local high street.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second leaflet is already in the pipeline \u2013 Oswaldtwistle Town Team is currently seeking funding for a Christmas flyer encouraging Hyndburn shoppers to support the region\u2019s shops in the run up to the festive period.<\/p>\n

Anyone who wishes to attend the next Oswaldtwistle Town Team meeting can contact Gayle Knight on 01254 398319, or info@civicartscentre.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n
