Remember - Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday!
This weekend is one of the busiest shopping weekends of the season. Tomorrow, American Express and hundreds of supporting businesses are sponsoring the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday (SBS) – Saturday, November 26th – a day devoted to the support of small businesses across the country.
SBS was first launched as a means to steer American consumers toward small, locally-owned businesses in order to boost local economies. The U.S. Small Business Administration calls the event an effort to “help drive shoppers to American job creators,” since small businesses generate “two out of every three net new jobs over the past 15 years and employ over half of all private sector employees.”
While you’re out today, loading up on the Black Friday swag, don’t forget to leave room for some Small Business Saturday shopping!

Unfortunately, I didn't hear about this in time...I wish I had, I would have loved to be part of the movement to support small businesses! I have put it in my phone for next year.
