How Do You Support Twin/Multiples Owned Businesses?

Time for our Questions of the Week! This week's question comes from Entwined Community Co-Founder, Anthony.

Business Question of the Week: World News with Diane Sawyer ran a series last week on supporting American made products, stating that if every person spent $3.33 on American made products each year, we could create nearly 10,000 new jobs.

At Entwined Community, we feel the same way about supporting businesses that are owned by adult multiples or the parents of multiples. Supporting businesses owned by twin, triplet, quadruplet or more families helps create jobs and income for families just like yours. As a twin/multiples owned business, how do you support other businesses that are twin/multiples owned? For example, when we were looking for a graphic designer to design our logo for Entwined Community, we specifically wanted to use someone who was a twin or parent of multiples, and selected J4 Design, a twin mom out of San Francisco. The photographer for Alicia's photos on our About page were by twin mom photographer Sweet Shots Photography, while the photographer for our membership cards seen on our home page were by twin mom photographer Worth a Thousand Words Photography. If you have not worked with a twin/multiples owned business, share how you plan to in the future.

General Question of the Week: How do you currently support twin/multiples owned businesses? What is the last purchase that you made from a twin/multiples owned business?
