Ways To Support Local This Holiday Season

2020 has been a tough year for just about every industry. Now, more than ever, small businesses right here in Grand Rapids need help to make it through the holiday season. Luckily there are many different ways to support local, even without spending a penny. Here, Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown discusses how you can make an impact!

Get Takeout From Local Restaurants

The latest Michigan "COVID Pause" ordered the shutdown of indoor dining to restaurants. Since the beginning of the pandemic, restaurants were among the hardest hit in the state, and they could use our support to help make it through the latest shutdown. When getting takeout, consider supporting local establishments as opposed to chain restaurants or fast food places, as these places have a higher chance of getting through the latest shutdown relatively unscathed. If you aren't comfortable with takeout, you can always see which of your favorites are also on GrubHub (Psst, our restaurant Burger Theory is on the app and ready for your order!) 

Purchase From Local Crafters

Share Posts and Social Media Pages

We know the pandemic isn't just rough on local businesses, but it's also rough on families across Michigan. If you don't have the income to make a purchase, you can still support through social media! Sharing a page, liking a post, or commenting increases visibility for the business to potential customers without spending a dime! Doing this also helps improve search rankings for small business websites and social media to expose them to new customers.
