5Ways To Support Small Businesses For Free
Supporting Small Business doesn't have to cost money.
Did you know there are many ways to support the small businesses you love without spending a penny?
You can like, comment, share, react, and save their posts. All of these things help businesses get their message in front of more people. When a post gets good engagement it tells the platform that this is something people are interested in and it then moves it to a more prominent position in other people’s feeds.
You can tell your friends! This can be in the form of sharing a post or mentioning it on a coffee date with your best friend. Word of mouth recommendations let your friends know that you trust this business and they can too!
Write a positive review. Reviews help other consumers decide which business to give a try! Especially for small businesses, each review holds a lot of weight.
Send the business owner a note of encouragement. Supporting small businesses isn’t all about talking to others, it can also be encouraging the business owner in a more private way. Owning a business is hard and can be really discouraging. A simple note of encouragement can go a long way in helping a small business owner keep going on the hard days.
Sign up for their email list. This is the best way to keep up to date on news and deals. It’s also often a safe place for business owners to tell you how things are really going.
