Ways to Support Small Businesses
The Saturday after Thanksgiving is #smallbusinesssaturday! And although we may be past this shopping "holiday", it's important to make time to shop small and support local business owners. There's no way we could narrow the list of small businesses in Kankakee County down to just 6. So, instead, we're sharing 6 ways to easily support small businesses (in addition to spending money there) EVERY day!
- Leave a positive review online.
- Buy gift cards for friends, co-workers, your babysitter...the list goes on and on.
- Recommend them to a friend because we all know that word of mouth is oh so valuable.
- Engage (like, comment, share) with their social media content so that more eyeballs see it.
- Visit their storefront to interact with and get to know them firsthand.
- Say "thank you." Small business owners put their heart and soul into their businesses. Hearing your thank you will give them a much-deserved boost!
