What is the idea?

• The idea is simple: to offer everyone the opportunity to be a part of our "Local Savings Wall" project.
• Everyone is welcome to buy bricks, businesses or individuals, which are available in one size of 100px x 40px.
• These bricks are priced at £75 each.
• Purchasing multiple bricks in different areas of the wall is not problem.
• Subject to availability, you can purchase adjoining bricks; there’s no maximum limit.
• Your graphic can click through to an offer that will be printable (optional) and/or can link to your website, you can even link to a particular page on your website. If you don't have a website we'll set up a business listing for you worth £62.50 - this page can detail your product or service and contain your contact details.
• No obscene or offensive images are allowed and all sites will be vetted. Websites and images that are "not safe for work" ("NSFW") in the average professional workplace will not be accepted.
