When you shop local, you're making a personal investment in your neighborhood and community. Whether you realize it or not, when you shop local you are individually stimulating the local economy with your support and in turn, helping shape your community’s unique character and personality.
Here are four ways you can support Willis Furniture and other local businesses you love:
1. Interact on social media
Every small business loves hearing from their customers. They are the reason we exist in the first place. You can do this by leaving a nice review, liking a or sharing a post, and leaving a nice comment. Every little bit helps!
2. Recommend to friends and family
Even with all the technology in the world now, word-of-mouth is still the best marketing tool, whether it’s through Facebook, Instagram, Nextdoor, email, text or simply chatting.
3. Browse websites
Even if you’re not purchasing anything, boosting web traffic for small businesses can help drive future sales. Build your wish list, share links, and add things you love to Pinterest!
4. And of course, your purchases matters.
