How to Show your Favorite Small Businesses Some Love this Holiday Season

Chances are, some of us are still working through the holiday shopping list. Here are a few fast, easy ways to support small businesses this holiday season.
Do Your Shopping Local
It can be hard to resist the convenience of two-day shipping, but now, perhaps more than ever, it's worth supporting the local businesses and real people in our communities who offer the services and products we love. Gifting from your favorite small businesses is one of the best ways to support them during the holidays — on top of giving a loved one something thoughtful and useful.
An ASAP IVs gift is an easy option to consider for the holidays. Book a future IV session for someone special in your life to help them start the new year feeling refreshed and hydrated — a nice stocking stuffer or thoughtful gift for the person who's hard to shop for.
Share the Small Businesses You Love
Without the marketing budgets of bigger companies, small businesses often rely on word of mouth. Social media makes it easy to share your favorite local products and services with your own network — whether you post often or only occasionally.
A few simple ways to help a small business you love get seen:
Follow the business's social accounts.
If you book a service you enjoy, share a picture of the experience and tag the business.
Share posts to your stories, especially ones your followers might find useful.
Comment and engage on posts you like — it helps more people discover the business.
Make It Part of Your Holiday Traditions
The holidays creep up fast, but it's never too late to build a local business into your celebrations. A hangover-free holiday gathering or a self-care-themed New Year's toast can become its own annual tradition.
