Easy Ways to Support Local Businesses🧡

Now, more than ever, local businesses are fighting hard. It's our responsibility as community members to step up and support our local businesses. If you love frequenting local shops, restaurants, and attractions, it's time to step up and show your support. Our Lake of the Ozarks chamber of commerce is all about helping local businesses thrive and that's what we're here to do today. The Lake Area Chamber is showcasing some easy and effective ways to support your favorite local spots!


Frequent Local Businesses

Make an effort to support our local businesses right now. When choosing a carry-out option, try to support local restaurants. Many of the items being purchased at big box stores or online can be purchased from local vendors, as well. This effort can go a long way in keeping our local businesses afloat!

Buy Gift Cards for Future Use

Gift cards or tickets can be purchased now and used later. Whether you have a few summer birthday gifts to cross off your list or you simply want to buy a gift card for yourself to use at a future date, this extra income is vital for small businesses right now.


Make Online Purchases

While frequenting local businesses in person may not be an option, many have quickly adapted to offer online purchasing methods. Whether it's being emailed an invoice or they have stood up an online store, try to support small businesses in this difficult time.

Share Your Favorites

Social media is a highly effective way to share information about your favorite businesses. Showing support online can help easily drive more traffic to local businesses. Share your photos of that yummy to-go order or simply share social media posts from local businesses. This simple step helps raise more awareness for local spots.

What are you waiting for? Now's the time to make the extra effort to support local businesses now and in the future. We love our Lake of the Ozarks community and our local businesses are one of the things that sets our area apart from others. The Lake Area Chamber of Commerce has a complete online directory of our member businesses that you can choose from when making local purchases! And don't forget to check out our Take Out Tuesday restaurant information on our website! Continue to support local businesses through this trying time!
