Supporting local Maiden businesses is a great way to give back to our community and keep our neighborhood thriving.
Here are some of the best ways you can show your local shops and restaurants some love:
Shop local whenever you can. Instead of heading to the big box stores, pop into the small businesses right here in Maiden. You’ll find unique products and have the chance to connect with the owners. The money you spend stays right in our community.
Eat local. Dining at family-owned restaurants is a tasty way to support our community. Support local restaurants, cafes, and food trucks. Not only will you get delicious, fresh food, but you’ll be keeping your neighbors employed.
It’s not always about money, there are other ways to support our Maiden businesses:
Leave positive reviews. Take a few minutes to write glowing reviews for your favorite local spots online. This helps spread the word and encourages others to check them out.
Follow them on social. Give a shout out to local businesses by liking, commenting, and sharing their posts. It’s a simple way to boost their online presence.
Recommend them to friends. When someone is looking for a great place to eat or shop, point them toward your local faves. Word-of-mouth is a very powerful tool! Not just tell them…. the next time you want to get together with friends, instead of meeting out-of-town, recommend meeting at one of our restaurants or vibrant night-spots!
Volunteer or donate. See if any local organizations, nonprofits, or community centers need extra hands or financial support. Lending your time and resources can make a big difference. The Maiden Business Association is a great place to start!
At the end of the day, choosing local helps keep the Maiden community strong and vibrant. So get out there and show some love to the small businesses that make our town special.
