What January Looks Like for a Small Business

As we pack away the holiday season and settle into January, I wanted to share a little peek behind the curtain of what this month looks like for a small business like Green Roost.

First, let me say a HUGE thank you. Those empty shelves you may have noticed? They’re not just a sign of the holiday hustle—they’re a testament to you. Your support made our season, and I can’t tell you how grateful we are for every purchase, kind word, and visit.

But if I’m being honest, January is tough. After the holiday rush, things slow down—sometimes a little too much. It’s a time for catching up, dreaming big, and preparing for the year ahead, but it’s also when small businesses feel the pinch the most.

That’s why your support means everything to us, especially in these quieter months. And the good news? There are so many ways to support small businesses that don’t even cost a dime:

- Share the love on social media. Every like, comment, or share helps us reach new people!

- Leave a review. Your kind words go a long way in helping others discover us. The fastest way to do this is using THIS LINK.

- Tell a friend about Green Roost. Word of mouth is still the most powerful way to spread the love.

- Engage with us. Drop a comment, save a post, or simply send a kind message. It all makes a difference!

(lolz to empty displays like this…)

Even in this tough month, behind the scenes there is always the excitement of finding new brand partners, ordering merchandise to fill the empty shelves, and planning all our events for the year ahead. This is where the magic of a fresh start really comes alive, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on with you.

Thank you for always showing up for us—in big ways and small ones. As we navigate this quieter season, we’re already dreaming of exciting things to bring you in the months ahead.
