Do you really have to advertise your business to the family members for patronage?

[Stardom22]

In my vicinity people hardly patronize on the businesses that belong to family members despite business doing some marketing to them. What is your situation in your area?

You would be surprised how many people are not as familiar with what you are up to. That is why it is critical to continually promote your business even to family members

Like they say, out of sight, out of mind so it's best to constantly advertise and promote your business.

In my neighborhood people are reluctant to support family businesses. Many prefer big brands to small, local businesses. Even when they can buy quality goods, they take it for granted and don't prioritize it. This slows down the growth of small businesses. However, some understand the value of supporting family and friends and become loyal customers. Consistency and quality are the foundation for building trust and sustainable growth.

That depends on individual family's culture and whether the relationship of family is good or bad.

As far as you expect patronage from family members, you also have to make them aware of what you sell.

This is for them to know and supports the business, through patronage, referrals, recommendation, and financially.

Showing love and support to businesses that support you - it's a win-win! Patronize, refer, and spread the word to help them thrive.
