The Ballarat business community is critical to the employment, growth and lifestyle of the city and the region.

One important focus for Commerce Ballarat is driving support and opportunity for business through your shopping dollars.

Reducing escape spending creates the opportunity to generate local jobs and stimulates the local economy.

Ballarat is extremely fortunate to have an amazing selection of retailers to choose from and this Christmas, Commerce Ballarat is asking you think about where you place your shopping dollars.

This means taking a moment and asking yourself a few questions before you spend out of town:

– Who provides employment for me and my family?
– Who supports my sporting club?
– Where do I go to ask for donations for a charity auction?
– Have I explored all options to buy in Ballarat?

In support of these ideas, Commerce Ballarat is kicking of the #ShopBallarat b2b Business to Ballarat campaign.

Find exactly what you were looking for or have a great retail or business experience, why not share the love with the #ShopBallarat hashtag?
