How to support Local brands?
Shop Online
Many smaller fashion brands rely heavily on selling at local markets or from physical stores. During this tough time, these businesses will struggle to make ends meet. If and where possible, try and support them by purchasing from them online. This will be one of the main contributors to getting them through.
Purchase a gift card
This is such a cool and thoughtful gift idea and a great way to inject some cash into a small business. We all have a birthday coming up, purchase a gift card for that special someone to shop at a later stage.
Comment, share and tag
Give a shout-out to those local start-ups who are doing the most right now! Interact with their social media pages. Like and leave a comment on a post, tag a friend, and show a bit of "we've got your back' kinda love."
Send a caring message
Remember that there is an artisan behind those local brands and each purchase is putting a smile on their face. It's easy to forget that they are working harder than ever to keep afloat. A kind message of support or a simple "thank you" will make their day and encourage them to keep going.
