According to the Small Business Saturday Consumer Spend Survey 2011, 61% of consumers plan to shop at locally-owned clothing & accessories stories the weekend after Thanksgiving. Are you one of them? {source}
This year, Small Business Saturday falls on November 26th - so mark your calendars! It's a great way to bring exposure and generate extra business to your locally-owned retail shops, restaurants and other small businesses. It's also a great way to support your local economy & ensure your gifts are one-of-a-kind items. =)
....and if you own a small business, be sure to check out the Small Business Saturday Facebook page and website for in-store signage, e-marketing tips & materials, and the opportunity to earn $100 in free Facebook ads.
