Salute to Small Business, May 13-19, 2024
Small businesses are a vital part of Asheville’s economy: sustaining jobs, adding to our unique culture and innovating.
Small Business Shoutout Challenge
Each day of Small Business Week, give a shoutout on social media to local small businesses you interact with or whose support you count on. These could be small businesses you rely on for your business operations, small businesses you love or companies you partner with. Tag the business and us @avlchamber and use hashtag #avlsmallbusiness
Need some inspiration? Here are a few suggestions:
- @Mention Monday: Mention/tag your favorite small businesses on social media
- Takeout Tuesday: Eat Local – Dine-in, pick-up or order deliver with a local courier like Takeout Central
- Welcome Wednesday: Check out a new business in town and welcome them to the community.
- Thankful Thursday: Thank a small business owner for all they do in our community.
- Familiar Friday: Head to your favorite go-to spot or an old haunt that you haven’t visited in a while!
- Supportive Saturday: Grab a friend and shop local! From thrifting and boutiques to groceries and car maintenance.
- Sunday Funday: Go on an adventure – a walk in the RAD or take the fam to the Ingles Family Fun Day!
