Small Business Saturday Is November 30th

Are you giving customers a reason to Shop Small® with you on Nov 30. The information you promote in your marketing materials for Small Business Saturday® will determine how big your crowd is on that special Saturday.

Everyone has heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but growing in awareness is Small Business Saturday. This is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country.

It was started a few years ago by American Express, and it's grown in popularity ever since.

With five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas and a late November start to Hanukkah, small businesses are prepping for the holiday season even earlier than usual, according to a new survey.

According to the annual Small Business Saturday Insights Survey, released by the NFIB and American Express, nearly one-third of small business owners are starting holiday promotions earlier this year, and 70% say participating in Small Business Saturday will be helpful in attracting new customers.

While small businesses generally can’t offer the steep discounts available at big-box retailers and department stores, Many business owners are trying to provide incentives to existing and new customers as well.

According to the survey, 67% of participants will offer discounts on Small Business Saturday, and 36% will offer coupons for future offers or discounts.

Many small business owners are banding together to increase traffic. Thirty-nine percent of participants are collaborating with other small businesses for a community event to promote Small Business Saturday.
