There’s no question that small businesses thrive when you order their products and services. But did you know there are more ways to support a small business? If you want to support a local business but aren’t in a position to spend your money, don’t worry! Here are 3 ways you can support your hometown small business without breaking the bank.
1. Engage on social media
With social media at your fingertips, you can interact with small businesses through social media with the click of a button. Follow them on Facebook or Instagram! Like and comment on their posts! Share their product posts with family and friends! Engaging with a small business on social media helps increase their exposure and drives traffic to their website. It can make a huge difference in the success of their business, and it only takes a few seconds!
2. Write a review
Leaving a review about your past experiences with a small business lets other people know what to expect from the service they will receive! Not only can a detailed review inform potential customers, but it can also help the business determine what’s working and what’s not, ultimately helping them refine their brand and improve their products and services.
3. Refer your family and friends
Nothing beats a word-of-mouth recommendation! Talk to your friends and family about the merchandise offered by your local small business. Products from small businesses can make great gifts for parties, birthdays, and holidays, so don’t be shy — give your loved ones some good gift-giving ideas!
