First there was Black Friday, then Cyber Monday. Now, there's Small Business Saturday, the day people support small businesses!
Pledge to shop small on Nov 29th. By choosing to shop local, you can directly impact your community. The money is reinvested in your community to fund local schools, hire more police, officers and improve roads. When you spend $100 at an independent business, $68 returns to the local community. Spend that same amount at a national chain and it drops to $43.
