It’s finally Small Business Saturday – a holiday in its own right as far as we’re concerned! For those of you who don’t know, American Express OPEN has been promoting today as an opportunity “to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. Small Business Saturday is a national movement to drive shoppers to local merchants across the U.S.” They’ve been hyping Small Business Saturday like crazy using social media and traditional media alike, even giving 10,000 small business free Facebook advertising. CRAVE’s just jealous we didn’t think of it first!
So how are you going to take part in today’s shopping festivities? We recommend you whip out your handy dandy CRAVE guide or check out the “Where to Buy” section of your city’s CRAVE website and get your shop on! Every little bit helps and could make a huge difference in your favorite small business owners’ lives not to mention giving your neighborhood’s economy a much-needed boost! Whether you get your hair cut at your neighborhood salon, have dinner at your local mom & pop, or snag a pair of cute boots from that small boutique on the corner – it’s important to bolster your community and you’ll feel darn good about yourself (and your new purchases!) afterwards.
There are many organizations and movements around the globe that fight for small businesses. The 3/50 Project, for example, challenges consumers to spend a total of $50 a month between 3 independent businesses. The impact this would have on the economy, if even half the employed population participated, is incredible. Feel free to share any other small business movements that you know of in the comments below!
Happy Small Business Saturday and we look forward to hearing your stories of how you made a difference today!
