Reasons to Shop Small this Christmas Season🎄
The holiday shopping season is officially here and if you haven't already started thinking about Christmas gift ideas, it's time to do so! Our Best Lake Attractions know how impactful shopping at small businesses around the Lake of the Ozarks can be. We're dedicating our blog to showcasing why it's so important to spend your money with local businesses!
Support Businesses that Support the Community
Many area businesses give back to our community. It's just one of the amazing things about the Lake of the Ozarks area! You know that business that always sponsors your child's baseball team... that always sponsors your school fundraiser... that you always approach for other sponsorship opportunities? This is your time to show your thanks in return! Consider purchasing only from local businesses this time of year. Whether it's gifts for Christmas or eating out with the family, it vital to our small business community to show support this time of year.
Local Businesses Keep Money in Our Area
Most area businesses choose to work with local vendors and other local businesses for their needs. From hiring a local construction company to do remodeling work in the off season to choosing a local supplier for your daily office needs, local businesses typically support fellow local businesses when possible. This means the money you spend with a small business at the Lake of the Ozarks is likely to continue to trickle throughout the business community in the area.
Help Local Families Thrive
Small business owners are individuals in our community. These individuals have families and loved ones to support. That means you supporting a small business means you are offering opportunities for the owner and employees of that business! It's heartwarming to see businesses thrive in our area and seeing the positive impact of community support on the entire family is life-changing! You are helping a business owner's child take dance lessons or play on a baseball team when you shop with local businesses!
Encourage Local Economic Growth
The local economy is boosted when money is spent in our area. Make an effort to only spend your money with area businesses this time of year. The off season can be tough for many in our area and showing your support matters more than ever, especially after an already troublesome year for many businesses.
November 28th is a nationally celebrated holiday -- Small Business Saturday. It's a day where many come out to support local businesses. We encourage you to spend your money with local businesses this Saturday and throughout the entire holiday season! Our Lake of the Ozarks attractions all have some great opportunities this time of year. Purchase tickets for a concert at Ozarks Amphitheater. Buy season passes at a discounted rate from Big Surf Waterpark. Snag a gift card for yummy bites and adventure at Bear Bottom Resort for next season. Get adventurous and tour Bridal Cave year-round. Whichever you choose, know your efforts to shop small make a BIG impact on our attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks!
