Sing Loud, Sing Proud

The new Christmas ad from Visa is a rallying call for consumers to shop at bricks and mortar independent stores situated in local high streets. It features a heartfelt rendition of Queen’s classic ‘Somebody to Love’ sung by various independent retailers, including homewares stockists. See https://www.visa.co.uk/campaign/whereyoushopmatters/

Indie gift stockists can get involved by entering the competition that Visa is running to help spread love for the high street and its hard working businesses, with the company challenging independent retailers to make their own 30 second version of its Christmas advert by singing along to ‘Somebody To Love’ and then sharing their video publicly using the @VisaUK handle and the hashtag #WhereYouShopMatters on Twitter and/or Instagram feeds.
