Kick off your holiday shopping on November 26th. Small Business Saturday is a day to support local businesses and is recognized each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The best gift you can give local businesses is your support.
This year, we encourage you to participate in Small Business Saturday by shopping local, but also challenge you to think about supporting businesses in other ways such as using social media to share your shopping experience.
This year American Express has collaborated with Chlöe Bailey by adding a new TikTok sound for Small Business Saturday. You can use this custom sound in your #ShopSmall post to show your finds and give small businesses a boost. It’s a great way to show love for the local spots you frequent most and just maybe help a small business go viral.
You can also support local businesses by spreading the word among your friends. Word of mouth is an excellent way to promote your favorite shopping spots in your neighborhood. Bring them with you the next time you shop.
If you can’t find the perfect gift for that someone, a gift card is the next best thing to support local.
Be sure to check out each Frederick County Main Street this holiday season. They are committed to keeping our county vibrant, welcoming and locally powered.
