Want to keep Portsmouth's money in Portsmouth? It’s time to stop letting corporate giants control our local high street. ❌
Did you know online platforms take on average 15% to 30% commission on every booking or on every order.
That money leaves our island and heads straight to global corporate headquarters.These corporate giants invest billions to ensure their platforms dominate the market and control the narrative even when you use A.I thinking you are in free discovery mode.
But when you book or order direct buying local from business in Portsmouth it’s estimated that 60p of every £1 stays right here in Portsmouth to support local jobs, suppliers, and families.
At Ashbys, we bypass the middleman by offering 15–20% off when you book direct.
This goes beyond hotels. From takeaway to gifts, go direct to support the independent businesses that actually reinvest in our city.📢 Help us spread the word! Please share this post and follow us. 👇
