Every year I like to send out an email highlighting some of my favorite small businesses. But this year feels particularly important to shop small.
The pandemic has forced thousands of independent shops to temporarily or permanently shut down. I'll be honest, before I started Ugmonk I never thought much about “shopping small” but now being the owner of a small business I've come to realize how much every dollar counts to keep us little guys going.
2020 has been a wild ride, but we’re grateful for such an awesome supportive community to keep Ugmonk going. We’re ready to keep zigging and zagging with whatever lies ahead.
As we get into gift-buying mode for the holidays, let's vote with our dollars and support other independent creators and brands.
