Last night I turned to my husband and said, "It's not really the best time to own a business called 'Why I Love Where I Live', huh?".
He replied, "OR it's the best time."
Despite my doubts, he's right.
Love for where we live does not mean you don't still see and acknowledge the problems. In fact, I've found the more gratitude I have for where I live whether on a national level, city level, or even something seemingly...
We acknowledge not everyone has resources to support local businesses financially or through a purchase at this time. There are other ways you can help and engage that won't cost you a dollar!
A few ideas:
Share, like, comment on their post. It helps with algorithms and how often people see their posts.
Let other friends know about opportunities to support businesses in your area. Think: takeout ideas, places to get gifts, and places that might not have a social media following but still need support.
Leave a positive review on Google, Yelp, or Facebook.
