LocalDIY provides local retailers with a web presence on which to advertise their business to their local community. The team helps the retailer to create an online presence that will let their local customers know where they are, what they offer and even what they have on special offer in store using click-and-collect. By promoting the benefits of shopping locally, the facilities, product knowledge and customer service LocalDIY helps retailers to increase footfall and sales.
