Shop Small Saturday, November 26, 2011

This Thanksgiving Holiday weekend is full of opportunities to spend money. Many will "celebrate" Black Friday with planned excursions to the malls looking for the best deal. Most of these deals will be at big name stores. But would you consider...

Shop a Small Business on Saturday November 26. Our local shops are typically owned and operated by local people. They spend their hard earned money in our local communities. This small act could make a huge difference in the lives of some of your neighbors and friends.

If millions of people would Shop a Small Business Saturday after Thanksgiving it would be Huge! Try it! Make a difference in your Neighbor's life!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Connie, I think this is a great idea! I feel so strongly about supporting small businesses in my town because they are really the heart of the community and keep Main Streets alive.

Joanna - I am sure that whoever thought of this thought the same thing! I'm really trying to focus on eating in locally own places and shopping at locally owned places. We need to support our communities.

EXCELLENT idea and post, Connie! Hubby and I really do try to "frequent" the local mom and pop shops as much as possible. This is a great reminder for Black Friday!

Great minds think alike. I posted about this last week some time. I certainly hope this is spread far and wide. After all, I am a small business person, too. Thanks, Connie.

Been seeing the commercial on TV, absolutely. This country is all about small businesses and family owned businesses.

Hi Connie - Our once thriving Main St has died because of box stores and malls. Great idea.

Karen - I just think in our current economy that the small businesses really need our help more than ever.

Ron - Technically we ARE all small businesses! You're right!

Carl and Ceil - I haven't seen it on TV but it's been in our local newspaper a lot.

Conrad - I couldn't agree with you more! People would rather get a deal at Walmart or Target than shop on Main Street!

Karen - I thought about waiting but was afraid people would be too busy during the week and maybe miss it! I'll watch for your post and re-blog it for more exposure!
