Why Shopping Small in this Big World Matters

Shop small. We all hear it so much these days Boot Babes but do we really stop to think about what it does and the impact it has?  It really is a game changer when you commit to shopping small Babes. Let me give you some reasons why:

It will make you happier Boot Babes!

1. Shopping small gives you the best customer service! You get better service because for the most part, small businesses KNOW they need each sale and each customer to be happy and to become a repeat customer. They are more hands on, more attentive, and able to help you without asking corporate. They will always WANT to make it right for you! Similarly if there ever is an issue, you do not have send and email and wait. You can get straight answers quickly from small businesses.

2. You have input! Have you ever been at a store and wished the store carried something different? When you shop small, you often get to talk to the buyer, manager, owner, and clerk all in one so they will listen to you.  Your input helps you get what you want to buy and helps them know how they can improve your experience. Shopping small allows you to somewhat tailor your favorite stores to what you want by sharing that with the store.  

3. You feel better! There is a sense of uggh for many of us Boot Babes when we fork over money to big stores that we know we do not make a difference to.  When we give our money to a small business, we know we are keeping their lights on, families fed, and our money is making a visible difference.  Only shopping small can give us the peace of knowing WHERE we spend our hard earned money matters and makes a difference!

Boots n' Rags

It's real American!

1. Shopping small is the original throwback to what makes America great!  It has always mattered and always will.  Shopping small is the American way Boot Babes!

2. By shopping small, your money makes the largest economic impact and more of the money you spend is put back into the economy! It is a Win Win when we shop small y'all!

3. Shopping small makes dreams come true!  Small businesses have out their hearts, souls, and all they have into their dream which is their business. By shopping with them, we are furthering the American dream and quite literally making someone's dreams come true!

4. Sometimes, the store and the maker are both small businesses! Yes, Boot Babes, sometimes you can double your shopping small impact by supporting retailers that buy their good from other small businesses!

So Boot Babes, keep shopping small, loving your small businesses, and rockin' your boots as you shop!

Love y’all and until next time, let your boots rock your socks!
