SAY IT LOUDER!!!!
Every small purchase makes a big difference.
This past Friday I had a young gentleman come into the shop to get flowers for his girlfriend and I asked how he found us and he said he searched flower shops on Google. While that may seem like a simple and a common thing, it absolutely made my day. This young man could have just as easily gone into a grocery store for flowers, but he chose to support a local, small business and that speaks volumes.
So often our society has the tendency to do what is easier, cheaper, or more convenient. Like ordering online or running into a big chain to get everything in one stop. We are all running around and have busy, full schedules, but when they say you make someone do a happy dance when you buy from a small business it is really true especially right now! Like the rest of the world, small businesses are facing so many challenges right now. Whether it be supply shortages, price increases, staffing issues, and the list goes on and on. Small businesses need our support now more than ever! I want to encourage you to please choose to shop small any chance you can. Amarillo is blessed with so many wonderful small businesses and your support will make a big difference not only for the business owners, but our community as a whole!
