From providing the clothes we wear and the food we eat, to the products we use every day, entrepreneurs and independent brands have changed our world for the better. And with a recent Shopify survey suggesting that more than half of shoppers* are seeking out local, independently owned businesses to support this year, it’s even more important for brands to connect with mission-minded shoppers as we embrace the holiday shopping season.
