To small, independent, minority-owned businesses like ours, Small Business Saturday is one of the most important days of the year. Over the last two years, we have collectively experienced unprecedented challenges and overwhelming grief for many. During COVID-19, over 20% of small businesses across the country were forced to close their doors. It is only with the support of our beloved clients and community members that we are able to make our mission possible.
Here are just a few reasons to #ShopSmall this Holiday Season!
1. CREATE LOCAL JOBS - Small Businesses Employ 70% of our economy’s employees. The more you shop local, the more you contribute to potential jobs for your neighbors.
2. INVEST IN SOMEONE’S DREAM - Small Businesses are a lifetime of effort and hardwork of individuals AND their families. When you shop small, you invest in real peoples’ dreams of success.
3. BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE - Many small businesses strive to provide more personable, hands-on, and memorable customer service to create lasting, real life connections.
4. SUPPORT YOUR COMMUNITY - Small businesses pay taxes to the city they are located in, which means our tax dollars are used to support public schools, parks, sidewalks, as well as fund public service workers like firefighters.
5. FEEL GOOD SPENDING - When you shop small, a real human being does a little happy dance! These moments are the ones that create a ripple effect of change that will continue to make our world a better place for all.
By supporting small business, you get something from the heart that has years of hustle and hard work behind it. And by doing so, you make a conscious choice to keep your dollars in our community.
