The Power of Positive Shopping

Blue Patch's Shoreditch pop-up sustainable department store, 2018

The Power of Positive Shopping is an initiative linking local, sustainable businesses to shops, museums and other venues to pop-up. Brilliantly the campaign shortens to ‘POPS’!
Why is Positive Shopping important?
A real consequence of the pandemic is the changed nature of shopping. Many of the activities around shopping take place in the virtual world. As life returns to normal, some of the lessons from the pandemic experience will remain, with shopping needing to develop its own new normal – a hybrid of online and offline practices.

As such, in order to thrive, small businesses in the UK and Ireland will have to incorporate more sustainable practices into their business model. This includes introducing the idea of positive shopping to the conscious consumer.
