Small Business Saturday is nestled in there between Black Friday and Cyber Monday as the holiday shopping season opens and it’s an opportunity to recognize that our local small businesses are the backbone of our economy.
Dedicated to helping small businesses and their communities, the concept came about 3 years ago with the help of American Express. By shopping and buying from local, independently owned small businesses, you’re helping create jobs, boost the economy and preserve local neighborhoods.
In addition to the Small Business Saturday initiative, I am a strong supporter of the 3/50 Project.
So, while you're out shopping for gifts this holiday season, please keep in mind the fact that you can help your community a LOT more by shopping at local, small, independantly owned businesses.
Happy Holidays!!
