How To Support Women-Owned Businesses During Women's History Month
March is Women’s History Month, which is a great opportunity to support your favorite women-owned businesses and build up women entrepreneurs and women creators across industries.
So in this blog post, we’re sharing a few of our favorite ways to support women-owned businesses in order to contribute to the empowerment and economic advancement of women entrepreneurs – both locally and around the globe.
4 Ways To Support Women-Owned Businesses During Women's History Month
1. Prioritize Purchases From Women-Owned Businesses
One of the most direct ways to support women entrepreneurs is by intentionally shopping from their businesses. Whether it's a business local to your area or a brand you’ve heard about online – make a conscious effort to seek out and support brands owned by women entrepreneurs you admire. This not only provides direct financial support to those brands but also helps to amplify the visibility and success of these businesses within their industries.
2. Spread The Word About The Brands You Love
Word-of-mouth is one of the most powerful growth tools for all businesses – so if you want to support women-owned businesses during Women’s History Month, be sure to spread the word about the brands you love. Whether you simply make direct recommendations to your friends and family, or make an effort to share about the brands you love on social media – one recommendation can have a ripple effect far beyond your initial support.
3. Attend Women-Owned Events And Workshops
During Women’s History Month, many communities host events and workshops specifically aimed at supporting and empowering women entrepreneurs. In fact, our founder – Suzie Consoli – just spoke at one of those very events at Collective 615 in Nashville, TN. By attending and promoting events like this – not only do you have the opportunity to directly engage with and learn from women business owners, but you also contribute to the collective momentum of the women's business community. Look out for networking events, seminars, and conferences tailored to women in business, and make an effort to participate and show your support.
4. Participate In Mentorship And Collaboration
If you are a women entrepreneur reading this, one of the best ways you can contribute to Women’s History Month is by offering mentorship to aspiring women entrepreneurs. Whether it's providing guidance on navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship or offering resources and connections – mentorship fosters growth and empowers women to achieve their business goals, and more people look up to you than you may realize.
