“We joined Make It British at the end of last year. As a small business it's always a worry investing in any kind of subscription (particularly in such hard times for British business) but we couldn't be happier with the results. Since joining we've received a good amount of referral traffic from their site, been included in a lovely feature about the 'best of British baby brands' and are more than covering our costs with a fresh audience genuinely interested in buying British. A worthwhile investment, very supportive team, we're proud to be part of it. Thank you."
