Why buy from a small business at Christmas?
‘Tis the season for giving, and what better way to show your loved ones you care than by supporting a small business this holiday season. In the current climate it’s more important than ever to shop small and support local, independent businesses.
There are countless reasons, but here are three reasons why you should shop small this Christmas:
Amazing gifts
When you shop small, you’re more likely to find individual, original gifts that you wouldn’t see in the bigger online or department stores. When you shop small, you can find one-of-a-kind items that your loved ones are sure to appreciate - and not to mention that handmade gifts often come with a personal touch that mass produced items lack.Brilliant customer service
In such a hustle-and-bustle time of year, it’s more important than ever to receive amazing customer service. When you buy from a small business, you can be sure that the owner or staff will take the time to help you find the perfect gift.
Small businesses do what they do because they're passionate about their products, which often means they take the time to get to know their customers more. This personal touch can make all the difference when it comes to finding the right gift. Often, packages from small businesses are beautifully packaged so you don’t have to lift a finger! Small businesses will often go the extra mile to ensure you're happy with your purchase - it really matters to the business owner or creative that you the customer and the recipient love the item you choose.That feel-good, warm fuzzy feeling
How often do you find that Christmas shopping can be stressful, exhausting and actually just not much fun? The ‘experience’ factor is one that you can’t underestimate when you’re choosing where to spend your hard-earned money. When you shop small, you’ll get that warm and fuzzy feeling knowing that you supported a small business owner during their busiest time of year. It truly is a win-win for everyone involved!
So there you have it - three great reasons why you should do your Christmas shopping with the small businesses this year. You'll find unique gifts, receive top-notch customer service, and get the warm fuzzies knowing that you're supporting a small business owner.
