As Amazon Prime Days 2023 is now upon us, we want to encourage you to consider shopping at local small businesses, this week, instead of solely relying on Amazon. While the convenience and variety offered by Amazon are undeniable, it’s crucial to recognize the immense value local businesses bring to our communities.
When you choose to support local small businesses, you contribute directly to the growth and vitality of your neighborhood. These businesses are often run by passionate entrepreneurs who pour their hearts into their work, offering unique products and services that reflect the local culture and spirit. By shopping locally, you foster a sense of community and help create jobs for your friends and neighbors.
Below is a list of local small businesses that are either participating in the movement #SmallOverPrime by holding their own sales this week, or just so happen to be already holding sales at the same time as Amazon Prime Days. Stop by one of these shops (or shop their online shops if available) and let’s support the movement of shopping Small businesses over Prime Days!
