Small Business Saturday focuses on shopping with locally-owned stores

The busiest shopping period of the year is also just hours away with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as both feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively.

 

For local retailers, Small Business Saturday was developed in 2010 which encourages holiday shoppers to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local.

 

The day was conceived and promoted by American Express, who will give card members a special offer for shopping Small Business Saturday.

 

A National Federation of Independent Business and American Express say more than three-quarters of shoppers, 78% say they will be spending more or the same amount on Small Business Saturday as they did a year ago, providing independent businesses with a welcome boost in holiday sales.

 

Center Broadcasting encourages you to shop local, home-owned businesses, first this holiday season.
