The BIG question

Why do you think co-operatives have had a resurgence and are thriving in recent years?

  1. because they are now getting popular within the country and they have so many services they can offer which can help everyone and the people are noticing them because they always concern the community first.

  2. The Co-operative are a very popular chain these days because they have very good strong policies. Also they are fair trade and sell their products for very good prices. They are almost spreading the benefits of all they are doing (fair trade , helping the world), ethical and enviromentally friendly.
    They also offer many things not just food.

  3. Consumers are more willing to spend money on a co-operative company's goods or services as a large portion of the profits will go to needy organisations (e.g. charities and schools) as well as the members of it as well as the goods or services being produced via eco-friendly and fairtrade methods.

  5. co-operative businesses are thriving in recent years because consumers are more willing to spend as they will get a good servie or buy something for a good price, some of the money will also go towards something to help the enviorment.

  6. i think the co-operatives have had a resurgence and are thriving because more people are interested in buying fairtrade products because it means everyone gets a fair share of the profit and because the co-operatives provide these products they have became popular again.

  7. co-operatives have had a resurgence as more and more companies, are joining together which, would bring more profits as there are more people joined into the co-operative. also people are now having an open mind that the co-operative are offering more than what they used to. people are also realising that the co-operative are using more ethical ways of producing things, thinking about the environment and how they produce their goods. showing that they think of others, selling all off the imports from africa. where the farmers work long hours, and usually get no money. but the co-operative work towards this and give them a share of what money is earnt.

  8. co-operatives have had a resurgence because people are more aware now that co-operatives offer more for everyday people as they offer more environmentally friendly goods and try to use sustainable methods when collecting their resources, this appeals more to the people of today. They also offer a wide variety of fair-trade products because they give the farmers who were previously unfairly paid, are paid fairly.

  9. Because they are better known nowadays than they were when "the co-op" started. Also they have a good ploicys such as have 100's of fair trade brands in their shops and people today want people who are making tyhe products to get paid a fair price for what they are doing. Also they now supply other things other than food, they sell things such as funeral care nowadays.

    the co-op' has resurgence and is thriving in recent years. because people care about being green, and saving money, its about fairtrade, and in this socity people care, and weant to help this, so by buying with co-op' you are supporting this! they have become more used because of their new set of values and what they do, they have come back bigger, stronger, better and that is why they are becoming more popular.

  11. I think the Co-operatives have got bigger and better in the last couple of years because of the recession, when we where in the recession the people of the UK didn’t have the money to buy all the big name brands so they started buying the same stuff but in the Co-operative brands but for less money.

  12. I think that the co-operatives have increasingly advanced in business lately in the past few years because partly most if not all of their products are free range, fair trade and organic and recession???

    also they are a fairtrade company which give people who make the products more money for there time spent making and farming ect..

  14. I think that co-operatives have thrived in the past few years because all their products are free range and fair trade. This is because they can provide them cheaply which means more people will buy them.
