Own Business Day

An archive of the Own Business Day campaign, which ran annually from 2016 to 2021 in support of independent and small businesses.

Own Business Day was held each October across more than twenty countries in Europe and Asia. It encouraged people to shop with independent traders on a single day, and gave participating businesses promotional material, listings and guidance for taking part. The campaign ran in local languages, with its own site for each participating country.

This site preserves the pages that remain available from that campaign. The original site rendered most of its content from a service that is no longer running, so what survives here is partial: chiefly the per-country information, contact and policy pages.
