Evansville & Owensboro Small Businesses Offering Gift Cards at Half Price

Why Supporting Small Businesses Matters

In today's world, big businesses are getting bigger, while small, locally-owned businesses are struggling to keep their doors open. At Townsquare Media, we are committed to supporting small businesses while connecting with our community. As the holiday season approaches, it's more important than ever to come together to help one another.

5 Simple Ways You Can Help Small Businesses

There are many ways to support small businesses and individuals in the service industry. Here are a few simple but impactful actions you can take today:

1. Shop Small

It may cost a little more, but when you choose to shop locally instead of buying from massive companies like Temu or Shein, you are investing in your community. Online stores don't provide the same local jobs or opportunities that small businesses do. By shopping small, you're helping to create jobs and support your neighbors' dreams.

2. Pay with Cash

Did you know merchants pay over 3% in credit card fees? If you can, use cash instead of swiping your card. This small gesture helps save business owners money, which can make a big difference for their bottom line.

3. Boost Their Social Media

Follow your favorite local businesses on social media and share their posts. It’s a great way to support them without spending a dime. Every share, like, and comment helps increase their visibility and encourages others to shop small, too.

4. Provide Constructive Feedback

If you’ve had a negative experience, don’t jump to social media to air grievances. Instead, take the time to reach out directly to the business owner or manager. Constructive feedback allows them to correct issues and improve their services, ultimately strengthening your community.

5. Explore New Places

One of the best parts of shopping local is discovering hidden gems. Try out new restaurants, boutiques, or service providers in your area—you never know what you might find, and you could meet some amazing people along the way!
