Ambushing those around you with love and kindness doesn’t have to break the bank. This upcoming Valentine’s day try these 10 suggestions that don’t even cost a dollar!
- Get active in your community. Pledge to volunteer 2 hours a month with an organization that serves a cause your passionate about. Joining arms with a local organization helps make a lasting impact in your community.
- Call Old Friends. Remember your first mentor or college roommate? Check in on them and share your appreciation for them. Reminisce on old memories and past joys with them!
- Social Media Support. Leave comments on social media content you love seeing in your newsfeed. Make an effort to leave behind 3 genuine comments every time you scroll on your Facebook feed.
- Reshare Posts. If your cousin is starting a jewelry business or your boss just won a coveted award, share about them on your social media! A social media mention lives on the internet forever and can help them gain additional exposure. Support does not always have to be monetary.
- Pro-bono Service. From skilled social media consultants to talented hair stylists, volunteer your talent at a free or reduced cost. Developing partnerships with local non-profit organizations or community centers allows you to use your gift to brighten the days of those around us.
- The “This made me think of you” Rule. If you are scrolling your social media feed and see a relevant video or article, send it to the people you know would enjoy it. A simple note lets them know you’re thinking of them. That is true honor and respect.
- Online Reviews. You know your favorite dessert spot down the street or the car detailing place you have been loyal to for years? Take 2 minutes to leave them a social media review and thank them for their excellent service. Small businesses fuel the unique attributes of our hometowns.
