A new website has been launched for MyHigh.St, which gives towns a platform to showcase high streets, and independent shopkeepers an affordable and effective chance to present their products online.
It allows shoppers to visit their local high street 24/7. They give shopkeepers internet presence and showcase towns as retail destinations, to encourage more people to visit the shops in person, driving footfall.
Research showed 70% of people are scared of losing the high street and want to see them thrive, despite years of gloom about their demise.
