Forget about Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this year is the first ever Small Business Saturday, a movement to support small businesses the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It’s essentially a partnership with American Express OPEN and thousands of communities and businesses. A number of Decatur shops are taking part and the concept goes hand in hand with the 3/50 Project we’ve been talking about.
There are a couple of ways you can partake in Small Business Saturday:
- Shop at your favorite local businesses this Saturday.
- Spread the word about Small Business Saturday with sharing tools on facebook.com/smallbusinesssaturday and through Twitter using the hastag #SmallBusinessSaturday
- Give shout-outs to your favorite local shops and restaurants so your networks help the businesses you love do more business
