November 28th Is Small Business Saturday

Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 FHA, CHFA, VA Mortgages NMLS #65149

 

November 28th Is Small Business Saturday and the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce is encouraging everyone to show their support for their local small business tomorrow Saturday, November 28th.

On second thought show your support for small businesses today Black Friday, and do you Black Friday shopping at your local small businesses.  But I hope you do not stop there, I hope you show your support for your local small businesses all year round.

Besides asking everyone to support small businesses tomorrow November 28th, the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce is partnering with American Express to sponsor a #ShopSmall event.  Through the #ShopSmall Event local small businesses can get promo materials such as

Tote Bags

Welcome Mats

Pet Bandannas

Postcards

By e-mailing Maribell Carrion at maribel@qunncham.com  at the Quinnipiac Chamber of Commerce, or calling her at (203) 269-9891.

George,  I do support my local small businesses. Interesting that AmEx giant is sponsoring the event.  It seems that it will be a win all the way around.
