5 Ways To Support Small Businesses
Stay Social!
Most small businesses have some form of social media as it is a great way to connect with customers far and wide.
By simply engaging with their posts by liking, commenting or sharing you will be supporting their business and spreading the word! It also gives business owners an opportunity to interact with their customers.
2. Have A Chinwag
Talking to friends and family and recommending small businesses is a great way to share the love! Hopefully by spreading the word this will encourage people to explore new places and perhaps become new customers.
3. Review, Review, Review
Reviews are really helpful for small businesses. Not only is it great as a business owner to see positive feedback, but it is a helpful tool to let others know that this is a trusted place to buy quality products/services from.
You can often leave reviews on their social media or heading over to google and leaving a quick review!
4. You’ve Got Mail
Often small businesses are run by a small team or an individual, so sending them a nice message can make their day and put a smile on their face!
Running a business at times can be challenging so it is always so lovely to hear from happy customers as it encourages and motivates us to keep up the good work.
