Let’s talk about sponsorships in today’s economy. Small businesses aren’t banks. We’re out here working around the clock to survive — and yet somehow, we keep getting asked to sponsor events by people who have never supported us. You’re asking us to donate, discount, or give for free… Meanwhile, you’re throwing lavish parties, buying designer outfits, and posting “support small businesses” quotes — but not actually doing it. We see it. We feel it. And honestly, it’s exhausting. Sponsorships should be mutual — built on support, relationships, and community. If you’ve never booked with us, referred us, or even shared our posts… Please stop asking us to fund your vision while neglecting ours. 🛑 Stop asking small businesses for sponsorships if you don’t support them. ✅ Start circulating your money where your mouth is. #SupportSmallBusiness #SponsorLocalFairly #PutYourMoneyWhereYourHeartIs #SmallBusinessBoundaries #MajesticVoice #WeSeeYou #balloonbusinesstruths
