🌍 Growing Locally: Top Strategies Small Businesses Swear By 🌍

The biggest growth initiatives for local small businesses.

Did you know the top two business priorities for small businesses are sales/promotions (56%) and social media (54%)? These stats from Morning Consult and Verizon Business reveal one thing: attracting customers is every business owner’s top concern.

Why does this matter? It shows how powerful sales and social media are when they work together. Local businesses are finding success through online storefronts (39%) and by partnering with other businesses (36%)—both of which grew compared to last year!

Here are 3 easy ways you can turn these insights into action:

1️⃣ Be where your customers are. Use social media to share daily updates, promotions, and fun behind-the-scenes moments. Think of it as your digital handshake with customers!

2️⃣ Team up for success. Partner with a nearby business. For example, a bakery could team up with a local coffee shop to offer combo deals. Win-win for both!

3️⃣ Turn followers into buyers. Set up an easy-to-use online storefront so customers can shop anytime, anywhere.
