So how can you support small businesses during these difficult times?
10 WAYS to support
your small businesses⠀
1- BUYING FROM SMALL BUSINESSES: before buying from a large online shop ASK Small businesses if they can match what you are about to purchase - explain you would prefer giving them your business.
2- WRITTING A REVIEW: on Google / Facbook / Trust pilot ⠀
Reviews are so helpful for a small business as this shows their brand as a trusted place to buy from, helping others make the decision to purchase their product or service.
3- TAG THEM ONLINE - a picture of one of their products or services you experienced/purchased
4- JOIN THEIR ONLINE CONVERSATION: like - share - comment their posts. Also, when you see a social media post from your friends business, give it a little like, share it if it resonates, drop a nice comment. Show it some love.
Just help them out a bit to get better algorithms.
Your likes and comments go a whole lot further than you think!
5- JOIN THEIR ONLINE GAMES / challenges and share it online
6-USE THEIR HASTAG when sharing about them
7- BUY A GIFT CARD Want to inject some cash into a small business right now? Buy a gift card.
8- WHY NOT LEAVE AN EXTRA TIP if they exceeded your expectations
9-Sign up for their email list. Email lists allow small business owners to speak directly to you, offer you exclusive discounts, and learn more about what YOU want from them as a company.
10- Don't ask for Freebies. Small Business Owners are in business to pay the bills and nobody works for free in this game. Unless the small business itself is doing a special free promotion...
So let's all do our bit to keep the small business alive!
Together we CAN!
