Yep, exactly 🤣 feels like constantly fighting a losing battle!
Right, explain this one to me…
Kim Kardashian sneezes and gets 3 million views.
An influencer buys a coffee and suddenly it’s breaking the internet.
Someone’s cat falls off a sofa and gets 500,000 shares.
Meanwhile, me…
“🌸 Fresh peonies. Hand-tied bouquet. £25. Local delivery available.”
Facebook: Seen by 14 people.
Instagram: Your mum and one random bloke from Aberdeen liked this.
😂😂😂
Honestly, small business owners are out here fighting for their lives.
We pay wages.
We pay rent.
We pay suppliers.
We pay electric bills that seem to be calculated by NASA.
Then we spend an hour taking the perfect photo, another hour writing a post, hit publish and Facebook shows it to approximately three people and a hamster.
So here’s my wee plea…
If you see a local business post, don’t just scroll past it like it’s your ex.
Give it a like.
Leave a comment.
Share it.
Because while Kim Kardashian will probably survive without your share, Nikki the florist, Dave the joiner, Susan the hairdresser and Bob the builder would absolutely appreciate it.
Small businesses are the ones sponsoring local football teams, donating raffle prizes, supporting school fairs and keeping money in the local community.
And all we’re asking for is the occasional share instead of another video of somebody dancing in their kitchen.
Fair deal, no? 😂❤️
