  6. Collaborate with Small Businesses: Partner with a local small business owner to co-host an event or promotion. This can be a win-win situation, as you both get exposure to each other's networks and can attract new clients.
  7. Highlight Small Business Success Stories: Share success stories of small businesses in your community to inspire others to support them. This can be done through blog posts, social media, or even a newsletter.
  8. Attend Chamber of Commerce Meetings: Attend local Chamber of Commerce meetings to stay connected with the small business community and learn about upcoming events and opportunities to get involved.
  9. Donate to Small Business Organizations: Consider making a donation to a small business organization in your community. This can help provide resources and support to local entrepreneurs and help them thrive.
  10. Shop Local Yourself: As a REALTOR, you likely have many opportunities to shop for items needed for staging or decorating homes. Make an effort to shop at local small businesses for these items to show your support and help keep these businesses thriving.
