Make sure your employees understand what Contributionism is, and state that your business will be Contributionist. Follow the requirements laid out in the next section.

First, be transparent with income, costs, profits, and pay. Make the numbers available to your employees, or a representative they choose. Show them that you recognize their time and effort by not hiding the results of their labor from them.

Advertise the fact that you’re a Contributionist company. This will attract business from Contributionist consumers.

Work to spread the idea of Contributionism — as more people get onboard, more customers will prioritize you over the mega-corporations you’re competing with.

Whenever possible, seek out suppliers who also abide by Contributionist principles. In the short term, this may mean a slight price increase, but in the long term, it will mean more options for you to choose from.

Many people working for companies that refuse to adopt Contributionism will be seeking better employment. Play it right, and you can staff your business with a dedicated workforce that is already experienced in the field. As above, seek out Contributionist suppliers.

As Contributionism builds momentum, demand for products from small businesses and Contributionist companies will grow, creating new opportunities for entrepreneurs. Now is the time to act! Look for areas of opportunity to start a Contributionist company.

The law of supply and demand is foundational to business. Right now, there is low demand for products from small businesses, as so many consumers give their money to mega-corporations instead. This means high risk for starting a new business since you must compete with stores that have far greater resources and reach. As more people jump aboard the cause, this will begin to change. Where before you would have had to compete with huge corporate department stores and delivery companies, you may find yourself the only Contributionist option in an area full of Contributionist consumers.
