What better way to celebrate the giving season then by supporting small businesses! 💙

There are plenty of ways to help and promote small businesses but we have come up with the top five best ways to support them this holiday season:

1. Shop Small - Head over to your local boutique or have dinner with friends and family at a local eatery.

2. Like a Post - Follow some of your favorite local shops and restaurants on social media and give them a like or two.

3. Comment - Engagement is power in the digital sphere so give your local small businesses some love with positive comments on posts.

4. Tell a Friend - There is truly no better advertising then having customers share the stories of small businesses and what they have to offer.

5. Leave a Review - When visitors or residents of Arlington look for local or new businesses to visit they always look at the Google reviews. Leave a nice comment to up the chances for your favorite local businesses to receive new customers.
