5 Ways to Support Nimbin Businesses (That Aren’t Just Buying Something)

Supporting local doesn’t always mean reaching for your wallet.

Our local businesses, makers, cafes, creatives and independent operators are an important part of what makes Nimbin, Nimbin and there are plenty of simple ways we can help them thrive.

1. Follow them: Find your favourite local businesses on social media and give them a follow. It helps their posts reach more people and keeps you connected with what’s happening locally.

2. Share their posts: See something you love? Share it. A new product, an upcoming event, a beautiful meal or something happening around the village might be exactly what one of your friends is looking for.

3. Leave a review: Had a great experience? Take a minute to leave a positive Google or Facebook review. Reviews help future customers and visitors discover local businesses with confidence.

4. Recommend them: Never underestimate good old-fashioned word of mouth. Tell your friends about that great little shop, your favourite coffee, a local artist you love or somewhere visitors have to see.

5. Show up: Come along to markets, exhibitions, workshops, live music and community events. A thriving local economy isn’t just about what we buy - it’s about participation and creating a village people want to spend time in.

And of course, when you are spending, choosing local where you can makes a difference too.

Every follow, share, review, recommendation and visit helps strengthen the network of local businesses that give our village so much of its character.

Buy Local. Support Local. Love Nimbin ♡
