Join the small business community on November 26 to celebrate the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday®. The day, sponsored nationally by American Express, is designed to support small businesses during the busiest shopping season of the year. 
According to the 2011 Small Business Saturday Consumer Spend Survey, 89 million people said they plan to shop “small” Saturday.
According to industry experts there are approximately 27.9 million small businesses in the United States. Many of these businesses are solo businesses with no employees. Shopping small this Saturday is a great way to support your local and online small business communities. When you support small local businesses a greater percentage of the money remains in your local economy.
Shopping small benefits everyone. Shop your local mom and pop business this weekend, support an indie or small business online or take your family out for a meal at a local non-chain restaurant. Your support will go a long way with a small business.
