FBF Shopping Boutiques and Small  Business Owners on Michigan Avenue in Chicago.

This Saturday is  Small Business Saturday .

Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and communities across the country. Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

In today’s Pandemic climate it’s the Small Business owner that has been hit the hardest, sooooo if per chance you’re thinking of leaving your home tomorrow (mask in hand and being mindful of social distancing) I  hope you’ll support  and shop your local small businesses today. P.S. It’s the perfect time to start your Christmas shopping and many local retailers have  one day sales and specials  for those that shop their store. Go and DO!

Today is Small Business Saturday and I’m all for supporting local businesses. I encourage you you “Shop Small.”

It’s time to snap out of our post Thanksgiving food haze and shop Small Business Saturday!

Today is THE DAY! Support your neighborhood small business and boost your local economy. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Today November 27, 2010 is Small Business Saturday. Just in case you missed all the hub-bub about this latest venture for Small Business Owners (created by American Express) here is how the whole thing plays out. Small business owners are really suffering in the economy as of late. No Surprise right! In an effort to give the economy a boost and to support local businesses American Express has set aside today for people to make a concentrated effort to spend their money with the “little guy.” Now if per chance you have an American Express Card there is an extra $25.00 credit that you will see on your statement just for purchasing something from a small business on Nov. 27.  If however you cut up all your credit cards when the banks raised your interest rate (after we bailed them out) then consider this little gem of information….when small business owners succeed it results in a  tremendous boost on the local economy and in turn creates more jobs in your area.

So on this Saturday November 27, 2010 Shop Small to Win Big!
