How to Support Local Business?

you can uplift an entire community by leaving great reviews online about services and your kind words of well-deserved praise increase the business’ visibility, also serve as a huge boost of moral support to the self-employed and small business owners who rely solely on themselves to hold up their main source of income.
Like, comment and share posts
Most small local businesses are on social media so, by simply engaging with their post by liking, commenting, and sharing content you will be supporting them by getting their business in front of more people.
Send them a personal message
One personal message can make someone’s day! So, drop them a personal message over email or on social media to let them know how much you love their business and why. It will also be the motivation and encouragement they might need to keep going.
Recommend to your friend and family
Talking about a small business and recommending them to friends and family will help them get new customers and hopefully get more people to spread the word.

We should support local business because it makes a positive impact to the local economy and by supporting a small business you are supporting a dream.
