HOW CAN YOU HELP OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES?
-
Think local before heading over to/ordering from a big business or chain, so you can help keep money in the community as much as possible.
-
Purchase gift cards or gift certificates if you don’t have immediate need but know you will eventually use a local business’ products or services.
-
Refer friends/family to all of the local businesses you love; you may not be in need of a particular product or service, but someone else might be.
-
Leave reviews for your favorite local businesses.
-
Share local businesses’ social media posts onto your own social media pages; you never know who of your friends might be in need of that product or service.
