5 Ways to Support an Entrepreneur (Without Buying Anything)
These days many of us have a "side hustle," I would say a third of the people I know have a small business or are apart of an MLM company. Now of course I want to support them all, but realistically I can't buy products or services from ALL of them! You can only buy so many $40 candles and $80 face creams in one month! I also know my friends love me and want to support me, but my brand may not be their style of clothing or the "fit" that they like to wear and I totally understand!
So here are "5 Ways to Support your Entrepreneur Friends, Without Buying Anything!":
1. Show Interest
Showing you care can be as simple as just asking, "How is your business going?" It's always nice to know your friends are seeing what you are doing and they care about you as a person and your journey as an entreprenuer. We don't need to give you our sales pitch, we do that enough. We always love to have an ear to talk about our struggles, next steps and goals for the future. We also love to hear what creatvie or innovative projects you have on the go and relate our own experiences.
2. Get Involved
Come to one of our parties or events. Friends can be honest, so we won't be offended if you click "Going" or "Confirmed" but then private message us saying " I want to support you, but I might not buy anything." Again, totally understand we just need some smiling supportive faces from time to time to remind us we aren't crazy! You can also drop by our pop-up shops or markets just to say Hi or bring coffee. Standing there all day chatting with new people can be draining and seeing a familiar face is the boost we need sometimes.
3. Engage in Social Media or Help us Promote
"Liking" a page, post or leaving a comment means the world to us! Give us a shoutout or share our page is great too. Many of us need models for our photo shoots or Instagram photos so if you feel comfortable, let us know you are interested. We are always looking for new ways to share online and resources to help us grow and market.
4. Refer to Family or Friends
Tell your friends about our services or product. This can be casually at the gym, coffee shop or just hanging with a friend or a simple Tag on social media. We will give you a few business cards to keep in your purse or even display at your own business or place of work. Referrals are just as good as buying the product!
5. Celebrate!
Celebrate with us when we hit a goal or milestone. Go out with us for coffee on our anniversary of "3 years in Business"! Being an entrepreneur can be lonely sometimes and we find ourselves celebrating success on our own. We don't even care if you have any of our products! Just send us a message to grab a drink for reaching our goals.
Any support from our friends and family is appreciated. It makes us feel good when the people around us notice our hard work and take time to understand what we are going through. It can be difficult to balance work, family life, self-care, running a business AND having a social life. When my friends show an interest in what I am doing and want to be involved in any part of it I am filled with gratitude. Sometimes just "being there" is what we really need!
