The stunning city of Bristol has its own currency known as the Bristol Pound, recently eckhoMedia signed up to receive Bristol Pounds and support the work the organisation does in promoting Bristol and helping to keep some of the money spent in the city, in the city.
Bristol has many unique qualities that sets it apart from other cities in the UK, these include its community spirit, the wide range of creative people and businesses and a freethinking attitude which makes Bristol an amazing place to live, work and visit.
A lot of the qualities of the city are created and supported by the local businesses, shops and organisations that operate within the city, the adoption of Bristol Pounds helps support local independent businesses by allowing customers to spend locally and businesses can also spend locally when working with other businesses across the city.
With Bristol Pounds less money leaves the city, the money stays in the city and it encourages customers and businesses to use Bristol based companies, like ours for example when looking for a web design in Bristol.
