Tag, Share, Refer: Small Acts That Make a Big Impact for Small Businesses
There are many ways that you can support service based small businesses. Even if you aren’t looking to purchase a service from that business, there are still so many ways that you can be an advocate for small business! Let me share some quick and easy ways that you can show your support.
Support them on social media- Give their Facebook & Instagram pages a follow. Occasionally comment or like the content that they post. Share their page with your friends! Here is a post showing you how to share a business page on Facebook with all of your friends! All it takes is a simple like on a Facebook page or a quick comment on an Instagram post and you have shown a little love for a small business.
Shop their apparel- Even if you don’t have a need for their services, but they have an apparel shop or some sort of shop where they sell prints or other products that pertain to their business, that too can help build up a small business! Fortis Media has both an Apparel Shop and a Print Shop!
Keep an eye on those Facebook posts in Informed Groups
- If you are in those community Informed Groups on Facebook, you know that people are always posting things about needing services/products for this or that. I have been tagged in posts like “ISO of Photographer for Headshots” or “Looking for a Photographer for . . . “ a lot!
Subscribe to their Email Newsletter - Again, maybe you don’t have a need for those particular services now, but in the future you might. When you sign up for a small business newsletter you aren’t just showing support for that business. You are also subscribing to a service that you might need to use in the future! You can subscribe to our newsletter down below!
Refer them to a Friend - Referring one of your friends or family members helps sustain small businesses too! The more people that know about our business the more it helps build our credibility within our local community! I have had lots of referrals from friends and family over the years and it is what helped keep my business going. You recommending a business owner and their small business to a person you know helps more than you can imagine.
In Summary . . .
Supporting service-based small businesses goes far beyond making a purchase—it’s about showing up in meaningful ways, from engaging with them on social media to referring them to friends or subscribing to their email list. Whether you’re liking a post, tagging them in community groups, or repping their brand through apparel or prints, every small action adds up to big impact.
