Text Emily!

Words of appreciation, thanks, encouragement, and gratitude have been continuously shortened in today's fast-moving world:

"I Love You" has become "luv u"

"Thanks" has become "thx" or simply "tsm" and many are just double-tapping, dropping a "Congrats!" or "Love it," to the comment thread.

Hearting it doesn't exactly cut it when it comes to showing GENUINE support for other small business owners. Showing up for them takes a little more time, intention, personalization, and thought.

The result of genuine support? A massive tidal wave of a ripple effect changed lives and communities, and outcomes you can't even dream up!

In this episode, I share why supporting fellow business owners and creators matters now more than ever and give you FOUR creative ways to show up beyond just saying thanks.

  • Why small businesses matter for our communities
  • Why small businesses need support now more than ever
  • 4 Creative ways to show up for small businesses and creators
    • Examples of giving them a platform
    • Examples of resharing their content
    • How to write a specific, stunning Google Review or LinkedIn rec (+)
    • Commenting, engaging, and actually showing up because you care
  • A shoutout to some of those who've made my year impeccable
  • And more!

About Me & How to Work Together

I’m Emily Aborn, a Small Business Copywriter and host of Small Business Casual. I help small businesses grow with marketing that makes a distinct imprint. I believe that sharing your work goes beyond strategies, frameworks, content for content’s sake, more social media posts, more, more, more.

Successful marketing starts with a big picture approach and begins with genuine connection as you step into becoming (and sharing) the real YOU.
