The first-ever Small Business Saturday took place on Nov 27, 2010
It encouraged people across the country to support small, local businesses.
THE DAY BECAME OFFICIAL in 2011
From Washington D.C. to Washington State, governors, mayors,
senators, and even President Obama, all voiced their
support for Small Business Saturday.
In 2012 American Express encouraged small business owners to take charge of the day, helping them promote their businesses with free
personalized ads, which appeared millions of times across the web and over 79 million people shopped small businesses on that Saturday
By 2014 an estimated 14 billion dollars was spent at small business on Shop Small Saturday
In 2015 this amazing necessity to the support of small businesses across America on Saturday November 28, 2015 can continue if we all remember to #ShopSmall and Think Big!
Don't forget about your local boutiques, bakeries, uniform stores, mom & pop shops and unique trinket shops.
