The Benefits of Buying from a Small Business
All the Reasons We Should All be Buying Small
1. Unique products and services - Small businesses sell high-quality, locally produced products, manufactured in small quantities. This means you can own something that few people have.
2. Unrivalled customer experience - Small businesses have a smaller customer base, which means they’re likely to go above and beyond in their efforts to service their customers.
3. An opportunity to develop your community - A significant portion of the money you spend at a local small business funnels back into your community. Read the full article; ‘Don’t Ask Your Entrepreneur Friend To Give You A Discount’ – The Benefits Of Supporting Your Local SMEs
