Small Business Saturday is officially November 30^th, although we celebrate small businesses every day. Please support locally owned small businesses at every opportunity. When you choose to shop locally, you’re helping your neighbors thrive.

If you are a small business owner, you can leverage the holiday to market your business. The US Chamber of Commerce offers a Small Business Saturday toolkit with social media messaging and graphics, best practices, signage and more. American Express also helps small business owners plan for their future and provides a variety of educational and marketing resources designed to help fuel your growth journey.
