How To Help Small Businesses During Coronavirus

This is a weird time to be in the business of selling products. Some people find shopping therapeutic. Others find the idea of shopping right now akin to crazy. I think a lot of us fall someplace in the middle. Nevertheless, I am beginning to feel overwhelmed by all of the messages in my inbox and social media feeds about how now is the time to take advantage of this great offer and that great offer. And yes, I know that I too am guilty as charged.

In phone calls over the weekend, yes we now have time for those, a few friends asked me how things are going and then kindly asked if there was anything they could do to be help. It was nice to be asked. So, in case you too are wondering how to support your favorite small businesses as we continue to navigate the unchartered territory the corona virus has wreaked upon us, I thought I would share a few thoughts. Below are few things that I know would be helpful for Effie’s Paper (and I imagine other small business owners too).
