• Why a CLG / non profit? below..

Local stores struggle against well-resourced online giants and ever-shifting SEO demands, often opting-out of the ‘rat race,’ which means consumers must visit in person to explore local options.

losuming can lower journey’s and direct imports. Empowering the #LocalEconomy to conveniently source preferred local options.

losume needs to make some profit in order to scale the mission and support other local economies, but there are limits to what any organisation requires to be self sufficient. Likewise attracting talent, the correct mindset, those who want a fulfilling role, and user trust, is why Losume Company Limited by Guarantee has been established.

Other counties are already joining! losume will expand where community is strongest. To position your area or county for priory PR, register your interest here. the wider the variety of local retailer types, the sooner losume will be with you. National marketing campaigns will follow.

We have stores in different towns / counties, how….

Each local store is treated as an individual business account. While chain stores may vary in their contributions, local consumers understand that supporting local businesses, including yours, is often better than choosing big e-commerce platforms.
