Turn old bottles into new business
If you offer in-store recycling, let environmentally conscious shoppers know. Accepting smaller items for recycling — like batteries, plastic bags, or even the packaging your products are sold in — can be important factors for some consumers. This hairdressing salon in Paris, for example, offers in-store recycling to reward repeat customers for returning their used products.
Show your support
In countries across the globe, rising numbers of young people are identifying with the LGBTQ+ community. In the UK, the number of people aged 16+ identifying as lesbian, gay or bisexual has nearly doubled since 2014, and in the US nearly one in every five Gen Z adults identify as LGBT — almost double the previous generation.
As a business, you can show your support by adding the “LGBTQ+ friendly” or “Transgender safespace” attributes to your Business Profile. For this LGBTQ+ owned barbershop, having the LGBTQ+-friendly icon appear on its Business Profile allowed it to both stand out and attract customers beyond its immediate area.
Are you a women-owned business?
Make finding and supporting women-owned businesses easier by raising your visibility with people looking to support women in business. Since 2017 Donna Evans has been leading She Moves, a female-run moving company, and has found over the years that “a lot of our customers say they feel more comfortable with our female-only team, but most customers choose us simply because of our reputation.” Adding the “Identifies as women-owned” attribute to their Business Profile can provide a unique selling point to carve your niche.
