Black Friday is coming this week and many national chains and internet giants are enticing shoppers with the promise of huge discounts and bargains this Friday. My VIP Card is offering UK shoppers a way to take advantage of thousands of Black Friday deals while still supporting local and small businesses with a network of over 1,000 online local shops.

The discount scheme is urging Black Friday shoppers to remember and support local and small shops on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Local shops need the Black Friday and Christmas shopping season to be fruitful this year more than ever and My VIP Card is hoping the network of local discounts card will encourage shoppers to think locally first. The national discount card gives local shoppers access to thousands of discounts, helping them save on average £500 a year while supporting their local high street.

Maddy Alexander-Grout, Founder of My VIP Card, added, “I created My VIP Card to help the local high street also give back to the community and this Black Friday and Christmas they need us more than ever. My VIP Card supports small businesses by raising awareness and actively encouraging shoppers to benefit from local discounts. By bringing them all together on our platform we are allowing them to compete with the online giants and hopefully encourage many shoppers to shop small this Friday and benefit from some amazing discounts.”
