Spread the Word
K K
now a great local business? Don’t be silent about it. Small
businesses need your help, so open up and help spread the
word any time you’re impressed by a locally owned shop.
NOTICE
THE DETAILS
In many ways, it’s the small
things that make the best
local shops stand out. They
might greet their frequent
customers by name, stock
products that no other stores
offer, donate their time and
money to worthy local caus-
es and provide a more
unique shopping experience
that the cookie-cutter chain
stores can’t match.
Look for these things when
you’re out shopping, and let
your friends know when you
find them. You’ll be helping
your friends out and doing
your part to keep your favorite
businesses open and thriving.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and Pinterest have
opened new doors for
spreading the word about
your favorite businesses. In
fact, online is where a lot of
word-of-mouth marketing
happens these days as friends
share and photograph their
everyday shopping trips —
for better or worse.
If you run across a local
business that’s doing a great
job, snap a picture or write a
post about it. A few good
words on social media can

have a positive impact for the
“shop local” movement in
your community.
IT MATTERS
Studies have shown that
buyers trust recommenda-
tions from their friends and
family far more than they do
messages from strangers.
Your opinion carries a lot of
weight with the people you
know, so you can play a big
role in helping people avoid
the bad shops and flock to
the good ones.
So this Christmas, don’t do
your shopping in a commu-
nications vacuum. Look for
the best products and experi-
ences in your community
this holiday season and share
them with the people around
you.
Your friends — and some
small-business owners — will
thank you.
