What is Small Business Saturday?
Small Business Saturday takes place annually on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It aims to encourage consumers to shop locally and support small businesses during the festive season. This observance continues to grow in popularity and assists in boosting sales for small businesses during a time that larger corporations often take spotlight.
From handmade products to unique services, small businesses often provide the kind of experiences that may be lacking from bigger companies. On Small Business Saturday, consumers are encouraged to seek out local businesses. And, by shopping small, you support the independent entrepreneurs who make your community unique!
