Shop small this November 30th for Small Business Saturday. When you support a small business such as American Water, you’re helping your neighbors put food on their tables, building community, supporting dreams, and give a boost to the local economy. There are many ways you can help businesses like us succeed without every even spending a dime on water softeners or our other products.
Here are some great ways to support small businesses like Amercican Water over this holiday season (and beyond!)
5-Star Reviews
Yellowpages, Manta, Google, Yelp, and Facebook are just a few of the trusted sites that consumers go to for business reviews before deciding where to spend their hard-earned money. Having a large number of positive reviews helps improve a company’s reputation and increase revenue. Your positive review on sites after you have a great experience makes a huge difference to a small business like ours.
Social Media
There are quite a few ways you can use social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter to help small businesses connect like us connect with the community. “Like” or follow pages, “love” posts, comment and / or tag a friend on posts, give them a shout out, and leave positive reviews if you enjoy their business. Social media helps connect people who need specific services or products with a small business that provides them.
Subscribe
Some shops / retailers earn money based on the amount of email and / or blog subscribers. Most small business owners don’t have time to send you a bunch of spam, so you don’t have to worry about getting a bunch of junk. By subscribing, you also let them know they have support, and you may even receive special deals for being a valued subscriber.
Refer Friends and Family
Word of mouth is a great way to support American Water and other businesses. If you know friends or family that could use our services, let them know about us!
