What’s the difference between little old me and Amazon?
They’re making millions in the lead up to Christmas… and Im over here hand writing Thankyou cards to every single customer 🤣🤣🫠🫠
If you’re asking which is better — small businesses or Amazon — the answer depends on what you care about.
Here’s a simple breakdown to help you think about it:
⸻
✅ Why people choose small businesses
Pros
• More personal customer service
• Unique or handmade products
• Support for local communities
• Often higher quality or specialty items
• Direct communication with the owner
Cons
• Higher prices (not always!)
• Limited inventory
• Slower shipping
⸻
✅ Why people choose Amazon
Pros
• Huge selection of products
• Very fast shipping
• Low prices due to scale
• Convenient
Cons
• Can hurt local businesses
• Quality varies across sellers
• Less personal experience
• Customer service can be inconsistent
So please don’t forget about us local makers and creators this festive season… we have so much love to give ✨♥️💚✨
