Support LOLO Small Businesses Can be BIG Help
OffiCenters believes, “We Are Stronger Together.” These words could not be truer than they are right now, as we all try to re-establish our businesses and make up for lost revenue caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. Some might think that there is nothing they can to help others when they are so focused on saving money and their own small business. But there are ways to help fellow small business owners and it won’t cost you a dime.
Follow and Comment on Social Media
Most small businesses have pages on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. Social media is a great way to get their brand noticed, share products and keep people up to date with their latest news and behind the scenes action. Follow! Like! Comment! It just takes a few seconds but can make a huge difference to a small business.
Write a Positive Review
Reviews are so helpful for a small business as this shows they are a trusted place to buy from and helps others make the same decision to buy products or services from them. Maybe they have an option for you to write a review on their website? Or, a positive Google review is always appreciated and helps with their SEO.
Recommend to Family and Friends
It’s no secret that our number one lead source is, and has always been, referrals. One of the best ways to show your support of a small business is through word of mouth. Talking about and recommending them to friends and family will help them get new customers and hopefully get more people to spread the word.
Sign-up for Their Newsletter
Newsletters are a great way to stay up to date with business news, new products and information on products or services. You can help a fellow small business grow their email list by signing up and sharing the link to their newsletter and encourage others to do so, too.
Send a Personal Message
Often small businesses are only one person or a small team of people. A personal message can make someone’s day! It’s nice to know you’re not alone out there. So, drop them a personal message over email or on social media to let them know how much you love their business and why.
Last but Not Least – BUY From Them
Of course, nothing will support a small business more than buying from them. When you can, SHOP SMALL! Support “Locally Owned Locally Operated” businesses and restaurants because we all want to see our favorite LOLO establishments survive.
At OffiCenters we look to our Work Awesome Community first. With well over 1200 businesses located in our 7 Twin Cities locations, more often than not, there is a member we can consult, promote, refer and even buy from!
