There is an abundance of women-owned businesses out there, and they are all hoping that you will support them. You can do this by buying from them, helping them spread the word about their business, volunteering your time and expertise, or asking them what they need help with and offering to volunteer for that issue. These women are making a difference in their communities and want to help you too!

Buy from women owned businesses.

When you buy from a woman-owned business, you’re supporting women in the workplace. Women are underrepresented in the business world and face barriers to success that their male counterparts don’t have to deal with. By supporting women owned businesses, you are helping them achieve their goals and become financially independent–which is important not only for those individuals but also for society as a whole!

Women have faced many obstacles in the business world, and it’s important to support them as they pave their way toward success. By purchasing products from women owned businesses, you can help offset some of this inequality by providing financial support and encouragement for these women.

Share the news of your experience with others.

The best way to support women owned businesses is by sharing your experience with others. Tell your friends and family, coworkers, neighbors, hairdresser or even the person at the grocery store checkout counter! You can also share on social media using the #womenowned hashtag or tag @WOWBizUSA in your posts so that Women Owned Businesses can be seen by more people who may need their services.

Sharing your experience with a women owned business is the best way to support them. Women own only 15% of all businesses in the United States, and they need your help!

Help them spread the word about their business.

• Share their posts on your social media accounts.
• Tell your friends about their business, and encourage them to support it as well.
• Tell them about the great experience you had with their business and why they’re awesome!
• If there was something that didn’t go right, tell them about it so they can fix it in the future (and hopefully make things better for everyone).

Give feedback.

Feedback is a gift.

It can be hard to give, but it’s an important skill to learn. It can help you improve your own work and make you more effective at supporting other women entrepreneurs. When giving feedback, be specific about what you like and what needs improvement. Be honest with yourself about what works for you and why, rather than simply saying that something isn’t good enough without explaining why (unless there is something technically wrong with the product). You might also consider focusing on positive aspects of their business–this will help them feel good about themselves as well as encourage them to keep going!

Ask them what they need help with and offer to volunteer your time and expertise to solve that issue.

It’s not enough to just talk about how great women-owned businesses are. You have to find ways that you can actually support them. Here are some ideas:

• Ask them what they need help with and offer to volunteer your time and expertise to solve that issue. Women entrepreneurs are often very busy, so it’s important for them to know that someone has their back if they need it!
• Tell them that you’re there for them when things aren’t going so well. When I started my business, I was told by multiple people (including one of my mentors) that having a female founder made things harder for me than if I were male–and even though I knew this wasn’t true, sometimes it still felt like it was! It helped me immeasurably when people would remind me how amazing my company was and how proud they were of me during those times when things got tough (and they always did).

Make sure that you’re also supporting other women-owned businesses as well. If you’re a woman entrepreneur, it can be easy to assume that everyone else is too; after all, there are so few of us! But this isn’t true at all–there are hundreds of people who have started their own businesses every day and they need our support just as much as we do.

Women own one half of all small businesses in the United States

Yet they only receive 2% of all venture capital funding from angel investors and 3% from VCs; support these amazing women by supporting their businesses!

Women-owned businesses are growing at a faster rate than all other businesses. In fact, women own one half of all small businesses in the United States but only receive 2% of all venture capital funding from angel investors and 3% from VCs.

Support these amazing women by supporting their businesses! Women-owned businesses have a higher survival rate than those owned by men (85% vs 78%). They also tend to hire more women employees than male owned companies do (56% vs 42%) and donate more money to charities (1/3rd vs 1/5th). So if you’re looking for some great ways to give back this holiday season, consider shopping local and buying gifts made by women entrepreneurs!

Conclusion

Supporting women owned businesses is not only a great way to support women in general, but it’s also good for your community. Women tend to reinvest their profits back into their local economies by purchasing goods and services from other local businesses as well as contributing more than half of all consumer spending each year. So when you buy something from a woman owned business, not only are you helping her grow her own business and create jobs; but also helping other people get paid too!
