💁♀️ How to Support Small Bookish Businesses (Without Spending a Dime)
Let’s be real: supporting small businesses is cute. But sometimes your bank account is like, “Not today, babe.” And that’s okay — because there are actually a bunch of ways you can support shops like Lit and Lovely without spending a single dollar (or sacrificing your iced coffee fund).
Here are 7 totally free, super helpful ways to be a bookish hero without even putting on pants:
1. Follow Us on Social Media
Think of it as a digital high five. When you follow our pages, it tells the algorithm we’re not just yelling into the void — we’ve got friends. Cool ones. Like you.
2. Like, Save, Share, Repeat
Engagement is the name of the game. If you see a post that makes you smile (or snort-laugh), tap that heart. Save it. Share it. Pretend you're our unpaid social media intern — you're hired.
3. Leave a Glowing Review
Have you bought something from us? Or just feel emotionally attached to our vibes? Leave a review like you're writing a love letter. Bonus points for emojis. 🥹✨📚
4. Tag Us in Your Cute Book Photos
Got our bookmark in your current read? Reading with your tote? Tag us so we can scream about how good your flat lay is. Seriously — we’re unwell (in the best way).
5. Comment Like You Mean It
A quick “love this!” or “shut up and take my money” goes a long way. The more comments, the more the internet gods boost us. Basically, you’re casting a spell every time you type “omg cute.”
6. Tell a Friend (Or Five)
You know that friend who always says “I need to read more”? Yeah — send them our way. We’ve got tote bags and sass and everything they need to romanticize their reading life.
7. Join the Email List / Read the Blog
It’s not spammy — it’s charming. Think of it as a cozy little newsletter from your bookish BFF (who happens to own a shop). We only send good vibes and cute things.
Final Thoughts
Running a small shop is kind of like writing a love letter to readers… but with shipping labels and mild panic. Your support — even the free kind — keeps us going.
So if you’ve ever liked a post, left a comment, or told your group chat “hey, look at this cute shop,” just know:
You’re basically the reason we haven’t had a full-blown breakdown today.
Thank you. We adore you. You’re the main character. 💌
