Small businesses face an uphill battle due to the recent coronavirus pandemic, so consider these five tips to continue supporting your local small businesses.
- Order curbside takeout or delivery from your favorite local restaurants. Plenty of restaurants in Fresno and Visalia are offering curbside takeout, or even free delivery through apps like Uber eats.
- Buy gift cards to your favorite local spots. Many local businesses offer gift cards online or over the phone. Stock up on a few and treat yourself after the COVID-19 pandemic passes.
- Leave an online review. This takes no extra cash and is extremely beneficial for local businesses. If you love a business, tell the world about it!
- Buy local. When you need to buy your essential items, consider purchasing from the local mom and pop shop.
- Share on Social Media. Shout out your favorite products/services on your social media pages. You can also follow them on their social medias and engage with their content.
