Small Business Saturday is just around the corner on the 7th of December, so there’s no better time to show some love to local businesses that make your community unique. Here’s how you can make a difference this Saturday and beyond!
Shop locally
Using the official Small Business Saturday Finder, you can search for small businesses in your area by industry. Opting for small businesses over big chains means you can directly support the owners and employees. Plus, with many small businesses now offering online shopping, it’s never been easier to shop locally.
Leave reviews and recommendations
Leaving a positive review on Google, TripAdvisor or even social media can really help small businesses grow and boost their visibility. Word of mouth is also powerful, so share your experiences with friends and family too!
Buy gift cards or vouchers
Not sure what to get your loved ones for Christmas? A gift card or voucher is a great choice! Many small businesses rely on the Christmas period for a significant part of their annual revenue, and a gift card or voucher gives them a cash boost right away.
Follow on social media
Many small businesses rely on social media for marketing, so finding and following them on Instagram, Facebook or X (formerly Twitter) and sharing their posts gives them some all-important exposure. Tagging and mentioning them also helps spread the word and can attract more customers to discover what they have to offer.
Supporting small businesses isn’t just about one day – it’s about making a lasting impact. This Small Business Saturday, take a moment to shop locally, leave a review or spread the word!
