5 ways to support a small business:
1. Looking for a new Spring wardrobe? – we have many great
designers, choose a local clothing brand to complete your look – there
are many brands available in local stores, pop-up shops and online.
2. Spring has sprung! If you want to fill your house with flowers
or treat a loved one – stop and shop at your local florist or even a
roadside stall.
3. Fancy a snack or weekend treat – Mom and Pop shops have not died
out yet, look for one in your local area and treat yourself to their
many goodies.
4. Spring Cleaning or DIY fever hitting you? Support your local
hardware store, they are many well located stores with knowledgeable
staff to assist you with your project.
5. Having a Spring party – consider local bakeries, home industries
and caterers, their produce is always fresh and tasty!
