I know that many of us are excited about Black Friday. Has anyone heard of Small Business Saturday?
I have seen a couple of ads about this and I think it is great. It is an effort to encourage people to shop at locally owned business for at least part of their holiday shopping this week. I can think of several locally owned stores that I would like to shop at -and I think I may focus my efforts there.
Will you consider increasing your spending to locally owned businesses this year? Would you do it anyway or do ads about Black Friday help you forget about the smaller businesses??
I just think it is a great idea, esp with all of the hype about Black Friday from the major chains.
