BUSINESSES across Calderdale are being asked to join in the Totally Locally campaign by offeriong a £5 "bargain box."
The campaign, backed by the Courier, began in October.
It wants to get people using their local shops.
One of the messages in the campaign was that if everyone in Calderdale spent £5 a week in their local shop, it would bring an extra £40 million into the area's economy each year.
The latest part of the campaign wants businesses to offer a special offer to shoppers.
They want traders to sell a special item for £5, to make it easy for shoppers to make their contribution.
Campaign organiser Beth Ward said: "It could be a £5 special meal, a £5 fruit and veg box, a £5 meat pack or a £5 flower bouquet.
"It could be one product or it could be loads.
"We're encouraging shops to come up with something special for that £5 so people come in and spend it."
The "Fiver-Fest" will run from February 26 to March 14 in shops across Calderdale.
