Not my words below but copied from a friend and posted this to help other vendors and consultants of small businesses—especially with the holidays coming.

Why are we, as a society, so quick to SUPPORT big retailers, but not our family AND friends? 🤔
Yes, I realize sometimes pricing is the factor, but remember you get what you pay💰 for! Not to mention our customer service is much better because we actually APPRECIATE your business!
I challenge each of you to purchase one thing from a friend this week instead of from a retail store! Just one thing!! ☝🏻 and shopping small on a regular basis ~ not just one day a year during the holidays! Stop giving your hard earned money to the big box stores.
That one thing is helping your friend support his/herself, a dream, or possibly put food on the table for his/her family 🏘
