The last few years have been incredibly tough for the world around us. Anchor Coffee has been no exception. So far, we have survived by the skin of our teeth, and it is 100% due to our community, and our incredible staff. Im super proud of everything that Anchor has been able to do, and continues to do. While it hasn't been easy, it has been worth it, and I am happy to say that I love the community that we have built around coffee.
.
With that said, many of my friends and family who live far off, ask how they can support Anchor Coffee and what we are doing. So here is a few things you can do for us, and for other small businesses for that matter.
Six Ways to Support Anchor Coffee
1. Because of the massive amount of changes that social media companies have made over the years, the algorithm favors content with engagement. By liking, sharing, and engaging with our social media content you are pushing that engagement up, putting our posts in front of more people that can turn into potential customers(and more importantly new friends!)
.
2. Join our mailing list, and share it with a friend! We have a mailing list where we send out updates about events, new coffees, sales, etc. You can sign up from our landing page here ->>> https://mailchi.mp/4492055ca7c9/75siqtehfh
.
3. If you are a coffee lover but can't make it to either of the cafe's, join our coffee subscription service. We provide a variety of frequencies and you save a few dollars. I hand pick coffees from our current lineup and send them out according to your order frequency. If something new and interesting is available, you are guaranteed to get it!.

.
4. Leave a review! Much like social media, the more positive reviews that we receive on our Google Business profile, Yelp, or whatever other review site that you may use, the more opportunities for people to see what is so special about our company.
.
5. Get to know our team. I have been super lucky to assemble some of the greatest employees anyone could ever ask for. They are passionate about coffee, and have truly bought in to the Anchor mission. I literally can't say enough about how awesome they are. Next time you stop in at our Winston Salem location or our North Wilkesboro location, say hello, and don't forget to tip!
.
6. Keep us in your thoughts, prayers, send good vibes, or stay in touch. It is an incredibly hard time for small businesses. and as awesome as things seem on the surface, the blood, sweat, tears, and everything else that goes into building something special isn't always pretty. We need all the help we can get, and optimism goes a long way.

At the end of the day, I am so grateful for everyone who has been a part of this journey. Let's keep rolling!
