Covid 19 has been especially hard on small businesses. We are trying to support them as best we can with social distancing. Here are some ways we are supporting small businesses in Natick:
ORDER TAKE OUT
We have been trying to order from a small local business at least once a week during the Covid 19 Pandemic. Some of our favorites are Eli’s, Rice Noodle, and Lola’s.
KIDS VIRTUAL CLASSES
Our typical extra curricular activities are on hold for right now. This doesn’t mean though that we can’t still enjoy some of their favorite activities and support a small business at the same time. My girls have loved their DanceFIT and Stacey Peasley Band classes.
ADULT FITNESS
Etching out time in my day to exercise has been so important to my mental health during the Covid 19 pandemic. I may still have kids climbing on me or taking every toy they own out around me, but trying out different DanceFIT classes has been a helpful stress reliever.
SHOP LOCAL
If I am being honest, I have done a lot of Amazon shopping these past few months, but I am trying to be more aware of when there is something I could buy locally. We have gotten groceries and propane from Tilly’s and picked up flower from Fran’s, both of which had great systems to minimize contact when picking up orders
SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is often a large part of marketing for small businesses. I have begun following and engaging with more Natick small businesses on social media. Liking, following, and commenting on these businesses’ social media can help them be seen by more.
MY BUSINESS
As an owner of a small photography business, I would greatly appreciate your support. Given Governor Baker’s announcement this week, I am going to be able to start doing outdoor photo sessions. If you don’t want photos right now, you can help my business by liking and commenting on my social media and telling your friends and family about me. I would love to capture this moment in time for your family from a distance. I really appreciate all of my clients’ support and look forward to photographing your families again soon!
