Small Business Saturday 2019

When is Small Business Saturday?

Hey there, did you know that Small Business Saturday 2019 is coming up on November 30? It’s always the Saturday after Thanksgiving, just after Black Friday and a couple of days before Cyber Monday. It’s a whole day dedicated to supporting small businesses, and many of them make it a weekend-long celebration by offering special sales and deals.

So, What Exactly Is Small Business Saturday?

Well, Small Business Saturday is like a holiday that reminds us how important small businesses are to our economy. It’s a day when we all come together to show our support for these local businesses, especially at the start of the holiday shopping season. In different communities, there are shopping events happening, and businesses all over the country have their own sales and deals to encourage people to shop local.

In 2010, American Express trademarked the holiday. But now, many businesses and organizations all over the country celebrate it, including the U.S. Small Business Administration and lots of local chambers of commerce and downtown shopping districts.

Who can join in on Small Business Saturday?

Everyone can celebrate Small Business Saturday! It’s especially important for retail businesses because it happens during the holiday shopping season and is famous for the #ShopSmall movement. But online and offline businesses, local restaurants, small service providers, and even B2B businesses can participate too.

How can Small Business Saturday help my business?

Last year, the SBA says that 108 million people helped out small businesses on Small Business Saturday. That means a lot of folks across the country are paying attention to this holiday. Since it happens during the holiday shopping season, small stores are likely to benefit the most. But with more and more customers heading out to shop, they’ll also stop by local restaurants, coffee shops, and places of entertainment in their communities.

Even if you’re not a store that sells holiday stuff, you can still get in on the action. Maybe you can have a sale or join in on local events to catch the attention of customers who are already thinking about supporting small businesses on that day.

Once you bring in new customers during a special event like Small Business Saturday, you have the chance to turn them into repeat customers. Make sure they have a positive experience and showcase what sets your business apart from bigger competitors. Even people who didn’t know about your company a week ago might become regular visitors.

Ways to Promote Your Business

To draw attention to your business on Small Business Saturday, there are many ways you can get involved in community events. Check with your local chamber of commerce or business organization to find out if there are any shopping events or specials you can take part in. They might even create a map or directory of local shops to help customers discover new small businesses in the area.

If you want to promote your small business online, there are some great ways to do it. One idea is to offer special deals to people who follow you on social media or sign up for your email list. This is a way to reward those who support your business throughout the year. Another option is to team up with other businesses in your area or niche. You could hold a joint contest or giveaway, which is a fun way to reach new customers online.

Since Small Business Saturday happens during the busiest shopping time of the year, it’s important to offer something special to attract customers. You can do this by having deals or adding extra value to purchases. Let people know about these offers by posting online, placing local ads, or putting up signs.

Hey, let’s talk about bringing people to your small business! It doesn’t matter how you do it – the important thing is to give them a great experience that keeps them coming back for more.

See, small businesses like ours don’t always compete with bigger companies on price alone. So we have to find other ways to stand out. One idea is to offer something extra to our customers. Maybe a free gift for those who spend a certain amount. Or how about gift wrapping? That’s always a nice touch.

Oh, and here’s a cool idea: why not partner up with a local restaurant? We can give our customers a coupon so they can enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner after a long day of shopping. It’s a win-win situation!
