As the holiday season begins, many of us are going to start looking in-store and online to find good deals and amazing gifts. Instead of going to a big box store or a huge online marketplace, why not buy from a small business in your community? Reasons to shop small: 🎁 You can get unique local items that you can't find anywhere else 👋 Small businesses have better customer service as they are able to get to know customers personally 💵 Small businesses often support local charities and donate 250% more than big businesses to local community causes 🌿 Small businesses help reduce their carbon footprint by being more likely to use local items requiring less transportation Check out your local small businesses this season and feel good about supporting and sustaining your own community! . . . . . #smallbusiness #shopsmall #shopsmallbusiness #smallbizsaturday
