Other easy ways to support your local businesses:

social media

Small businesses spend loads of time promoting their businesses. Take a moment to like, share, and comment on their posts.

leave a review

We all know the power of a good review. Most of us check Google for hours, addresses, photos, and reviews before we head somewhere. Leave your favorite businesses reviews to help them grow.

word of mouth

Nothing goes quite as far as a quality referral. Spread the word about your local shops. Share them with friends. Shout them out on local community pages.

newsletters

If your local business has a website with a sign up for a newsletter, drop your email in and help them grow their lists.

Tell them they’re doing great

Customers tend to only speak to the manager or owner if something is wrong. Flip the script a bit and tell them when a staff member has done a great job, or when the kitchen cooks you the best meal of your life. It’ll make their day and show them their hard work is paying off.

post pictures + Tag them

A photo is worth a thousand words. Take a photo in your favorite spot and share it on their Google business page or on a social post. Don’t forget to tag them, so they can see it!
