Call me romantic but I love the fact that soon the town will be covered in hearts. Tidings, has already got me in the spirit with its window displays and I am looking forward to seeing other retailers following suit.
Valentine’s day is just around the corner and as well as demonstrating our love for our nearest and dearest it’s the time for celebrating our love for our local businesses. The 14 days of love campaign starts next week on the 1st of February. Following on from last year’s success this is the time to get recommending your local businesses by using the pink 14 days of love cards you will see in our local independent shops and businesses. If your favourite business/retailer is only online you can vote for them at www.thebestof.co.uk/local/monmouth/recommend
Nominating couldn’t be simpler, just take a pink card and finish the sentence "I love them because" and pop it in the box in the shop. Every day someone who has recommended a business will win a great prize which could be a trip on the Orient express, a Ferrari driving experience or a romantic dinner for two at a Michelin starred restaurant. 14 days of love equals 14 prizes and the more businesses you recommend, the greater your chance of winning a prize.. The cards will be counted just after Valentine’s day and the Best of Monmouth winners announced in local and national print and on line media. Cards are also available from the Best of Monmouth offices on the old Monnow Bridge.
I love Monmouth, the mixture of town and country, breath-taking scenery and a high street full of independent shops, now’s the time to show our love to those we love best!
Love alert: Businesses don’t miss out being in the National best of awards, sign up by Jan 31st to be in with a chance.
