There are plenty of good reasons to shop from small businesses. Here are five of the most compelling:

1. Boosting the local economy:                                                                                                                                                                      Small businesses are a vital part of any community, and when you shop from them, you're helping to support the people who run them. That in turn helps keep the local economy strong.

2. Finding unique products:                                                                                                                                                                       Small businesses often offer products that you won't find at big chain stores. When you shop from them, you're more likely to come across one-of-a-kind items that you won't find anywhere else.

3. Getting better customer service:                                                                                                                                                                        Small businesses tend to provide more personalized service than big chains. They're more likely to go out of their way to make sure you're happy with your purchase.

4. Keeping communities diverse:                                                                                                                                                                        Small businesses help to keep communities unique and diverse. When you shop from them, you're supporting the local culture and economy.

5. Making a difference:                                                                                                                                                                        Every time you shop from a small business, you're making a difference. You're supporting local entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and helping to build strong communities. So next time you're looking to make a purchase, consider supporting a small business.

Small businesses like mine are facing unique challenges in today's economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of these businesses to close their doors, and those that have managed to stay open are struggling to survive. There are ways that we can support small businesses and help them to thrive.

One of the most effective ways to support small businesses is by purchasing from them. Buying from small businesses not only helps to support the individuals and families that run these businesses, but it also helps to keep the economy strong. When you buy from small businesses, you are helping to create jobs and support local communities.

Another way to support small businesses is by sharing their products and services on social media. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter are powerful tools for small businesses to connect with their customers. By sharing posts from small businesses, you can help to increase their visibility and bring in new customers.

Another way to support small businesses like us is by writing positive reviews. Online reviews are critical for small businesses to get found by new customers. By leaving positive reviews, you can help to boost a small business's reputation and increase the likelihood that other customers will purchase from them.

Lastly, consider gifting hair accessories from small businesses to friends and family. Not only will you be showing them how much you care but also supporting small businesses.

In the end, it's important to remember that small businesses are the backbone of our economy and supporting them is crucial for our communities. By choosing to shop from small businesses, we can make a big impact and help them to continue to grow and thrive.
