Five Reasons to Buy British Furniture

Posted on 31/05/2017

Mirror Image offers high quality British manufacturing at an unbeatable price. All our furniture is designed and manufactured at our Norwich factory. We are proud of our products so we have listed a few reasons why we think you should support British businesses like ours. 


Mirror Image - Proud to be British


1. Invest in Local Business


When you choose to buy British, you can be sure you know where your money is going. That’s right, it’s going right back into local economy. This means you support independent businesses to stay strong which in turn keeps our communities thriving and is good for national business. 


2. Invest in People


It’s not just the local or national economy you are supporting when you buy from a British business. You’re keeping local people in work and ensuring that our workforce maintains its skills. Sometimes these skills have been passed down through the generations. These skills and jobs will be in danger of dying out if we continue to over-rely on mass-produced goods bought using online services. 


3. Greater Assurance for You


It is so much easier to ensure quality when products are built locally. Correcting any mistakes or making adjustments is easy when you buy close to the source of manufacture. A shorter chain of command keeps production trouble-free for customers.


4. Commitment to Customer Care


Proximity breeds familiarity and you will be sure of getting a much personal service when you buy from your independent British retailer. Maintaining a relationship with our client base and understanding our customers is at the heart of what our British business is all about. 


5. Limit Environmental Impact


Convenience is the number 1 reason people choose to shop online but the environmental impact of online shopping is not always considered. Convenience and customer satisfaction are clearly crucial, but how much happier would you be in the knowledge that you can make a convenient choice that is also better for the environment?
