❤️NOW is the time to support local!

I talk to local business owners almost every day, and lately, I've been hearing the same thing. Business is slowing down. Even some of our most popular local businesses are seeing their numbers dip.

This is one of the very reasons I started Hello Pocatello. I love this community, and I want to see our local businesses and nonprofits thrive!

So here's what we're going to do! ❤️

📣 LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS: Tag in your business posts, and I'll help spread the word by resharing them!

📸 COMMUNITY MEMBERS: The next time you visit a local business, snap a picture, tag Hello Pocatello, and I'll share it! I support local businesses and nonprofits every week, and I'm making it a goal to capture and share more of those experiences.

❤️ EVERYONE: Have a favorite local shop, restaurant, service provider, or nonprofit? Tag them in the comments! Give them some love!

Supporting local doesn't always mean spending money. Sharing a post, leaving a review, recommending a business, or tagging them when someone is looking for their services can make a difference.

These businesses are our friends, families, and neighbors. They support our fundraisers, donate to our nonprofits, sponsor our events, and help make this community what it is.

Now it's our turn to show up for them.
Let's work together to keep our local businesses thriving and build an even stronger community!

❤️ Pocatello shows up. Let's show them what that means.
