Supporting Local Businesses Has Never Been More Important
Support Artisans and Eateries
Small businesses across America have
been negatively impacted by the COVID-19
pandemic. As shopping restrictions have
been put in place across the country, local
businesses have found themselves getting
creative in selling their goods.
One of the best ways you can support your
local business community is by purchasing
items from local artisans and restaurants.
supporting small business owners in your
community.
These businesses have seen an uptick in
business due to their fleibility in being able
to set up at various sites.
Keep your eye out on social media for
where food trucks are setting up during the
holiday shopping season, and show your
support by buying your meals locally.

give these artisans the eposure and financial
support they need to grow their business.

What can you expect when you shop
with local artisans and restaurants? Great
customer service, for one. Many shoppers
complain about customer service at the big
chain stores during the holidays due to retail
employees often being stretched too thin in
their work schedules.
With local businesses, you can expect
personalized customer service along with the
uniue food or items you’ll find. That’s be

of a small business owner.

to craft and personalize products for their
customers. This level of customization is
another aspect of great customer service that
is so critical for small businesses to deliver.
