We are pleased to announce that we will be participating in the second annual Small Business Saturday, brought to us by American Express. You may not be familiarized with the concept as it is a fairly new campaign. The idea is to help small businesses drive traffic during the Holiday season. There are so many big box chain stores that offer disgustingly low prices, that many of us small businesses simply cannot compete. Did you know that when you shop at a small, local, retailer, 45% of what you purchase is pumped directly back into the local economy? Furthermore, when you shop at a big conglomerate store you are only dispensing a mere 13% back into the local economy.
Holy smokes, batman!
Small businesses are really important, especially now. They provide the majority of jobs across the United States. When you shop locally, you are feeding tax dollars back into your own city which employs medics, policemen, firemen, teachers, and so many more. Let us not forget that small businesses also hire other local small businesses to help them advertise, manufacture, remodel, you name it!
When you spend $25 at a participating retailer (we are one of them) American Express will reimburse you $25 on your next Credit Card Statement. OMG! That's like, shopping for free! :) This is only a ONE DAY DEAL so you must come on Saturday, November 26th to take part.
