The 4 BEST ways to support local business, for free.

We hear a lot of chat about supporting local business from NH folks, which is great. But it does go beyond eating out and shopping local instead of at a chain. Lot’s of businesses depend on the local economy to survive! 

Now some of you may be thinking that it should be enough that you're spending your hard earned money at these establishments, and I wish you were right. The problem with that mindset is that if nobody knows about the business that you like, they won’t go. Small businesses don’t have the huge advertising budget that big businesses do so it’s always very appreciated when we can get some help from our customers and clients.

Here are a few key ways you can support local FOR FREE

Refer, Refer, REFER

Telling your friends about us is one of the best ways to help support us! Most of us have some sort of social media at this point, being more mindful of tagging whatever local business you're visiting on your day to day is one of the biggest ways to show your support. In a lot of cases you’re probably already posting to your Instagram story, just throw in a quick tag. We’ll thank you for it.

Review

We all know that reviews are a great indication of how a business operates and treats its customers so those are always amazing to get in and of themselves. But did you know that much like Instagram and Facebook, Search engines such as Google have an algorithm too? If you perform well in the algorithms eyes you’ll get put at the top of the search therefore getting almost, if not more, business than referrals. One way to do that is to receive regular positive reviews. So if you love us, let us know!

Gift Cards

Online shopping can be unpredictable and online inventory may be low but gift cards are always a great option in supporting local and checking names off your gift list.

Vote for us!

Most local communities or states have publications that offer surveys once a year and give awards to the businesses that poll the best. Being able to hang these awards on the wall of the business not only offers new customers a sense of comfort but also gives brand exposure to the business when the results are announced. Most of the time it takes 5-10 minutes to fill out the entire survey and you can support a plethora of your favorites all in one go!

Our local awards we are hoping to win are:

Hippos Press - Best of 2023

New Hampshire Magazine - Best of 2023
