6 Easy Ways To Support A Small Business

In This Article:

During times like these, small businesses tend to take a hit. Sometimes all they need is to know that they have the support of the community around them. Here's a few ways you can do so.

1. Refer a friend

One way you can support a small business is by helping them expand their base. Just invite a friend if you think they'd be interested in the products the small business sells.

2. Follow, like, and comment on their social medias

When you comment your opinions to a small business owner, they do a little happy dance when they find out someone likes their products. A simple "Cute!" or "Love this!" goes a long way.

3. Respect their time

If you ask them to make you something, be sure that you're actually going to pay for the product. Some products can be very tedious and take hours to make. Don't waste their time if you have no intentions of buying the product.

4. Leave a review

A nice review goes a long way. Not only do reviews help the business, but also potential customers.

5. Post a picture

If you've shopped with that business before, post a picture of your product and shout them out for it!

6. Buy something!

Lastly, another way you can support a small business is by buying a product from them.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
