COVID-19 has severely impacted the nature in which we all conduct business at this time. This has directly impacted many of the local businesses we have come to support and partner with throughout the years. During these times, we would like to highlight some amazing local businesses that collaborate with us for our Invest In Style magazine and how you can still #InvestInLocal right now! Many of these businesses have adapted to these changes, and weve listed all of the ways you can help these businesses thrive through these hardships.
We know that in some instances, it is not feasible to financially support as many are facing their own issues at this time. If possible, take this as an opportunity to support a local favourite by following their social media pages, sharing their content and writing positive reviews online.
