How you can help support a small business for free.

We all have our favourite alternative fashion businesses, whether it's a treasured local shop, or a favourite designer. At times like these they really need our support to help keep them going, and it needn't cost you anything to give them a helping hand.

It's more important than ever right now to help support small alternative businesses, and there are plenty of ways that you can help them out, without even spending a thing.

Get social

Your first port of call is usually always Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, where you'll find all the latest posts from your favourite companies, shops, and designers. Not following them already? Why not like their profile.

From there, you can interact with your favourite alternative fashion businesses regularly. Small, simple actions, such as liking, commenting, or even sharing their latest posts can help - this goes a long way towards boosting their posts reach, so every little really can help.

Spread the word

Word of mouth really goes a long way. Why not recommend your favourite alternative fashion brands to your friends. Whether it's posting about your latest purchases, commenting on posts whenever friends ask for shopping advice, or even just inviting your friends to follow your favourite businesses pages.

Friendly feedback

Have you ever left a review for your favourite alternative company? Why not review your latest purchases, or your favourite local alternative shop. A small little action that can not just boost their profile, but make them feel great too!
