How to Show your Favorite Small Businesses Some Love this Holiday Season

Chances are, there are still a few of us out there working on our Christmas shopping, so we wanted to take some time to share a few fast tips for supporting small businesses as you get ready for the holiday season!

Do your shopping local

Though it can be hard to resist the convenience of Amazon (2-day shipping has undoubtedly gotten the best of us all, at some point), now, perhaps more than ever, it is important to support our local businesses – the real-life people in our communities that offer us the services and products we love! Gifting products from your favorite small businesses is the best way to support them during the holiday season – on top of giving a loved one a thoughtful and useful present!

Share products you love on social media

Without the robust marketing budgets of corporate powerhouses, small businesses often thrive off of word-of-mouth. And, luckily for us, with social media, we all have the ability to quickly and easily share our favorite products with our personal networks. Whether you’re a full-blown influencer or an Instagram novice, taking a few minutes to share information about a business you love can make a huge difference.

This can look like a ton of different things. For example, here a few quick, easy tips for how to use Instagram to show us some love:

  • First and foremost, follow us at @ASAPIVs

  • When you book our services, we love to hear about it! Share a picture of your ASAPIV experience, and feel free to tag us so we can share too! 

  • Share our posts to your stories – especially the ones that you think your followers might find helpful or interesting

  • Engage with us on our posts so that pesky algorithm continues  to show people our content. Tagging people in the comments to direct followers to relevant content is also an amazing way to share our resources and build our followers!

Find ways to incorporate them into your holiday traditions

Though Christmas and New Year’s are creeping closer by the second, it’s not too late to book your favorite local business to make your holiday celebrations extra special. What could be more memorable than a hangover-free holiday season or a self-care themed New Year’s bash? And why not make it an annual affair, while you’re at it? Be the winter event your friends and families look forward to all year long! Don’t hesitate. Book today!
