Pau shops: How to support them during confinement?
Containment obliges, the businesses deemed "non-essential" by the government, had to close their doors. 😷 The COVID-19 crisis puts the future of our convenience stores at stake. Aware of these difficulties, our team at Loëla wanted to support the neighboring Pau shops. In this article, we share some initiatives to help our local businesses in the city center of Pau. 🥰 Let's mobilize to support them while having fun: yes yes, it's possible! Thanks to them, you can even keep your children busy during confinement and spoil your loved ones as well as yourself! Read on to find out more !
Supporting shops in Pau: how to do it?
During this difficult period, our small businesses in Pau are hard hit... and this second confinement only makes the situation worse, although it is necessary to limit the spread of the virus! 🦠 Bookstores, ready-to-wear stores, hair salons, toy stores, and many others, have ceased their activity since the announcement of the President of the Republic. They no longer have the right to welcome customers on their premises. As consumers, we have a role to play in helping our favorite local stores: let's stand together! But concretely, what can we do? 🤔
Order online, but local! Stop shopping with e-commerce giants and focus on small shops with a website. The merchants can no longer receive from the public, but can still continue their activity on the Internet. They can therefore take care of the preparation of your packages as well as the shipment. Despite the epidemic, home delivery in Pau remains possible. Go to their eshop, treat yourself, order, pay online and receive the product at home. This is one of the best initiatives to support them, while protecting yourself from the virus, since you limit your movements and proximity to other people. You can also opt for click and collect in Pau, a device that allows you to pick up the package in store, in compliance with health rules.
Your favorite shop in Pau doesn't have a website? No problem, some merchants have implemented other solutions! They record your order by phone or email and deliver it to the store. Thus, it is possible to shopping in Pau, even while being confined! Do not hesitate to share and communicate via social networks on this possibility of purchase. Talk about it around you and encourage sales online or by phone/mail. A small action for you, but essential to preserve your city center and Pau shops!
