Mega retailers, like the two mentioned, aren’t looking to only sell their own products. They have launched large programs encouraging small businesses to use their distribution platform.

Think Small, Act Big: Fun Ways to Boost Local During Small Business Month

5/16/2025

0 Comments

 
Another calendar page has come and gone and with it, we’re ushering in May and Small Business Month. There’s no better time to show some local love! 

Small businesses are the heartbeat of our community. They’re the coffee shops where we meet friends, the boutiques that stock one-of-a-kind finds, and the service providers who remember our names and donate to our causes. 

But before you think this is a new call to spend money, know that you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. 

Every purchase (yes, there’s the money but wait…), referral, and review goes a long way toward helping small businesses thrive.

Whether you have $5 or just five minutes, we have some creative, fun, and meaningful ways to support small businesses this month.

So get out into our community and support those who help make it what it is.

Breaking the Burnout Cycle for Small Business Success

12/6/2024

​Business ownership is often romanticized as a thrilling combo ride of passion, innovation, and drive where one can wear a hoodie and hang out playing video games all day while money magically flows into your bank account. But anyone in business knows the idea of the effortless hustle or business is about as untrue as being discovered on a street corner in Hollywood and becoming a blockbuster star the very next day.
Does it happen?
Occasionally.
But there are more stories of struggle and strife than instant riches. The reality for many business owners is a less glamorous one that can take a significant toll on mental health. A study by the University of California, Berkeley, found that a staggering 72% of entrepreneurs report experiencing mental health concerns, with 30% reporting lifetime depression. The weight of this statistic underscores the importance of addressing the mental health challenges faced by those at the helm of our businesses. And that begins by looking in the mirror.

​Most people research online before they purchase. That could take the form of looking up prices, options, or educating themselves on the product or service they’re in the market for. Many buyers also use a business website to verify hours, availability, make reservations, etc. During the holiday season people are busier than ever and it’s common to check things out online before getting in a car.
