In case you haven't heard there is a new "day". You know like, Mother's Day, Friendship Day... This Saturday, November 27th is the very first ever, "SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY". It's actually a great idea. A few years ago Cyber Monday became 'day' so why not one for us, the small businesses. It's true, we have been hit by the economy and we appreciate all the support that you, our friend and customer give us. This Saturday is a great idea and I hope it really becomes an annual 'day'.I found the following at while doing some research about Small Business Saturday on a the website; greenandsave.com and I couldn't have said it better:
This year in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday there will be Small Business Saturday. Shopping at local retailers is a great way to support your local economy and this year American Express is launching a nationwide effort to spur business for small merchants on Saturday, November 27th.
“Small business is the engine of job creation in the US economy,” said Mr. Chenault, chairman and chief executive officer, American Express. “It is also among the sectors hardest hit by the recession. By spreading the word about Small Business Saturday, we can help raise awareness about the critical role small businesses play in cities and towns across the country at a time when they need support the most.”
Stop by on Saturday and enjoy fancy cider and homemade cookies while shopping for the treasures you need this holiday season. Remember we carry gifts, doo-dads and supplies for the crafter in all if us. If you get stuck or you are unsure how to make something or use a product be sure to allow us to assist you, Tamara, Joe and I will do our best to help you.
It is our wish that you have a Happy Thanksgiving and hope see you soon.
Thank you for making me aware of this! I sent this info out to my customers...and they are on board!!! It just takes a little more thoughtful consideration, but it's very easy to take care of your holiday season by doing business with small businesses. Yay!!!
