Celebrating National Small Business Week: Supporting Your Local Businesses in Milton Keynes

This week, as we celebrate National Small Business Week, let’s highlight the incredible impact the local businesses have on our community, like Milton Keynes! 

As a passionate photographer and small business owner, I wanted to take a moment to share why your support means the world to me and how you can continue to uplift small businesses near you.

Why Supporting Small Businesses Matters

Firstly, let me tell you how grateful I am for all of my lovely clients, friends and family who have supported my photography journey. When you choose to work with local businesses like mine, you’re not just purchasing a service—you’re investing in your community. Here are just a few of the reasons why your support matters:

  1. Unique Products and Services: Small businesses often provide more personalised and bespoke services tailored to you! When you support us, you’re helping to keep our diversity and creativity.

  2. Community Connection: The money you spend at small local businesses will circulate in the area, such as Milton Keynes, creating more job opportunities and strengthening the local economy.

  3. Personalised Customer Experience: Local businesses provide a more personalised and attentive customer experience. We value every single customer and love getting to know all of you personally.



How You Can Support Small Businesses

Wondering how you can support small, local businesses during National Small Business Week and continue to after? Here are some simple but very impactful ways:

  1. Choose Local: Whether booking a photo shoot, purchasing products, or using services, choose local over larger corporations.

  2. Spread the Word: Share your positive experiences with friends and family. Word-of-mouth recommendations are invaluable to any small business.

  3. Engage on Social Media: Follow and engage with us on social media platforms. Your likes, comments, and shares help boost our visibility online, and we appreciate them so much!

  4. Leave Reviews: If you’ve enjoyed our services, leaving a positive review on things like Google or Facebook can make a big difference. 

  5. Stay Connected: Stay updated on our news, offers, and events by subscribing to mailing lists or online forums. Being informed allows you to participate in supporting the growth of small businesses.
