52% of small business owners say they're finding it really hard right now.
With $10 billion being spent in NZ this December, where your money goes matters. Supporting local keeps businesses afloat, women in work, communities thriving, and lets small business owners actually pay their bills.
Your spending says something about the world you want to live in.
If you have a small business you love supporting, add it below!!!
We host a group with over 16,700 women in biz and a membership of over 400.
We surveyed our members last month, where 52% said they currently feel that they are finding running a biz really hard right now.
As we head into the silly season of spending, where NZ racks up more than 10 billion dollars of shopping in December - consider where your $$$ goes.
Supporting local keeps our small-town businesses afloat, our women in employment as they juggle parenting and health, drives the local economy, supports local events and fundraisers, and makes small biz owners do a little dance (and allows them to pay their bills!). Many of our businesses are ethical, environment-conscious, fosters talent and skills, and gives back to their communities.
Your choice of where you put your dollar says something about the world you want to live in 😍😍
In addition to our extensive gift guide released this week, we're going to pop in some other cool lists of local businesses in the comments.
