Home Shopping Action Days in Otterndorf

Shopping at Home in Otterndorf

Merchants, restaurateurs, and service providers invite you to stroll, browse, and shop in the downtown area of Otterndorf as part of the "Shopping at Home" action days. This year, the participating stores want to raise awareness again that customers can shape their own living environment through their local purchases, thereby contributing to a livable city. The kick-off for the "Shopping at Home" action days in Otterndorf is on September 11 and 12, 2026. Some of the participating businesses will offer small promotions in their stores.

Six good reasons to shop locally:

1. "Shopping at Home" means shopping with neighbors and friends. Good advice and service increase customer satisfaction. Who can advise you better than someone who knows what you want because they know you personally and live where you live?

2. "Shopping at Home" supports events, clubs, and initiatives. Community life needs local businesses, as the organizers of events and community festivals often receive financial support from local companies. This means that with every purchase and every visit to a restaurant, you are also supporting traditions and civic engagement in your hometown.

3. "Shopping at Home" secures jobs and training. Together, shops and restaurants are among the largest employers in the area and one of the biggest providers of vocational training. With every purchase, you help ensure that this remains the case and that young people are offered economic prospects in their hometown. This keeps your community young and vibrant.

4. "Shopping at Home" makes your community livable. Not only buildings and history make a place special. The variety of shopping options and the uniqueness of the gastronomy also shape your community. The more you utilize these offerings, the more attractive and vibrant your city will become.

5. "Shopping at Home" reduces environmental impact. The farther you travel for shopping, the more you burden the environment—and your wallet. Shopping locally means less energy consumption, fewer traffic jams, and more time and money for other enjoyable things.

6. "Shopping at Home" strengthens your community. Every euro you spend within the municipal boundaries benefits your hometown, as retailers and restaurateurs pay trade tax. This tax is the most important source of revenue for municipalities. Thus, with every purchase or restaurant visit, you strengthen the economic foundation of your area.
