Small Business Saturday

Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday sits Small Business Saturday, a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and

their communities.  We hope you’ll join us in supporting small businesses by committing to shop small, shop local for the 3^rd annual

Small Business Saturday

on November 24, 2012

If millions of Americans shop small, it will be huge:

Unlike money spent with publicly traded companies, national chains or franchises;small, locally owned businesses help money earned locally stay local:

·         Your dollars spent in locally-owned businesses have 3 times the impact on your community as dollars spent at national chains.

·         When shopping locally, you simultaneously create jobs, fund more city services through sales tax, invest in neighborhood improvement and promote community development.

If just one in three microenterprises hired a single employee, the U.S. would be at full employment.

Local small businesses are owned and managed by your friends, neighbors, classmates and WBDC graduates.
