#BuyGREEK4Xmas: Buy GREEK for Christmas this year - Support #Greece! Φέτος στις Γιορτές Επιμένω #ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ - Στηρίζω την Ελλάδα!



 Join our 5th annual internet campaign

Support Greece
Buy GREEK for Christmas again this year! 
Στηρίζω την Ελλάδα! 
Φέτος στις Γιορτές Επιμένω ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ!

Thanks to all those who have accepted/will accept the invitation to join everyone at the 5th Annual Buy GREEK for Christmas Campaign and thus increase awareness of how important each of us is in helping to stimulate the Greek economy by buying Greek products and services.

You don't need to be anywhere on any particular date... all it means is that you will probably buy/even make something Greek, kourambiedes, taramosalata, olives, feta, yoghurt, a piece of chocolate, eat at a Greek restaurant, download a Greek song, buy a book, a leather bag, a pair of leather sandals, a theatre ticket, a DVD/CD, buy a bottle of Greek wine, olive oil, a tin of wonderful olives, a bottle of Masticha liqueur, ouzo or tsikoudia, visit a Museum, book your holiday in Greece, take the Metro to Monastiraki and have a souvlaki or catch a ferryboat to an island.

By joining us at #BuyGREEK4Xmas wherever in the world you are over the holidays...you are adding your support and solidarity to the efforts of the people in this beautiful country to start the economic recovery process from the grass roots level, by helping sustain Greek jobs and businesses.



Western Christmas shopping is about 1 trillion USD... If even one in 100 people buys something made in Greece this Christmas period, that would add 10 billion to our GDP and add 100,000 manufacturing jobs which would ripple out to a good reduction in Greece's unemployment rate. 1 in 100!!!

However, even if you cannot buy something GREEK, you can still like our page and support the campaign! :)

Just click and share, share, share - tell your friends, tell the world, that you are proud to be one of those who support Greece - proud to be part of the Buy GREEK movement!

Committing to #BuyGREEK4Xmas is about upholding principles and believing in Greece. 


Help us get a million likes by clicking on share and/or inviting your friends to join so that we can spread the word around the world! If each one of us invites our friends the sky's the limit!

By clicking on LIKE you also go into a draw for a prize which will be drawn on 22 January 2016...

If you are a business in Greece or abroad with Greek products or services, a writer, a museum etc and would like to send us one of your products to try, promote or as a prize for the draw, tell us! 


All donations to our #BuyGREEK4Xmas event will get mentioned on our pages. 

Share or RT using the hashtag #BuyGREEK4Xmas so we can see it!


Let's go! Let's show our solidarity with Greece!

Στηρίζουμε τα Ελληνικά προΐόντα για να διατηρηθούν θέσεις εργασίας και να στηρίξουμε την οικονομία της Ελλάδας.


Eάν κάθε Έλληνας καταφέρει μέσα στις γιορτές να αγοράσει ελληνικά προϊόντα αξίας 1.000 ευρώ στη θέση ξένων προϊόντων που αγόραζε, τότε θα προστεθεί στην προβληματική ελληνική οικονομία το αστρονομικό ποσό των 12 δισεκατομμυρίων ευρώ.

Πείτε στους φίλους και γνωστούς ότι αγοράζοντας Ελληνικά, στηρίζουμε όλοι την Ελλάδα μας και τους δικούς μας ανθρώπους - ΣΤΗΝ ΠΡΑΞΗ!
