SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS

How to support small businesses without spending a dime:
SHOP SMALL: Many small businesses are springing up here and there, especially online and have Comparable prices, better quality and customer service to the big boys out there. Now, would you rather fill the already full pocket of a CEO than help buy food for a mum? So shop around, browse and find small businesses and compare prices and read reviews.
These points should be helpful:
COMMENT, POST, LIKE and SHARE: Being on Facebook 24/7 doesn't have be all about your face, shoes and clothes. Like a few pages that are appealing to you. When you see something on your page they have posted, try and like and share or better still comment and share. This goes a long way to help little businesses get exposure as it's like a chain reaction, from your page to a friend's and to another friend of a friend. And guess what?? It cost: ZERO

SHARE GREAT BUSINESSES WITH YOUR FRIENDS: This is actually a perfect idea and principle that works all the time. When you buy from a small business, whatever it is and a friend happens to admire it, Share!!! If it's someone you know well then give them the address or phone number or better still the link to the shop. Become a sales representative for that small business! I tell you, word of mouth is the most successful advertising for young businesses and the cost????
NOTHING!

FEEDBACK: We don't have to pay to give a feedback, it's totally free! If you have an idea or see a product that would help the business, tell them. For pages on Facebook, a simple sentence like "I bought this product from you and it's so cute" will go a long way. You could also give more details and this will encourage people who are undecided, still sitting on d fence and guess what?? it's also totally FREE!!
Browse and encourage little businesses in your neighborhood grow and I bet you have very good small businesses around you.
