So How WAS Your Small Business Saturday?

6:00PM pm on November 30th: I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that many of you are having a great day. Did you advertise or run a special campaign for #SmallBusinessSaturday? Participate in a Main Street or community-wide celebration?






I want to hear your thoughts and comments! And if you DID get out and do the work to promote your retail business and the numbers aren't up from a normal Saturday, DON'T WORRY. See why below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️


There are only so many shoppers to go around, and physical space to hold cars and people, so it's NOT uncommon to hear feedback on today that's just sort of "meh". However, if you did put energy and love and effort into reminding folks WHO you are, a dedicated and vibrant part of a town or city or neighborhood, you're already coming out ahead!! Recycle some of your promotional press releases or statements, and use them in the future to continue building quality connections between you and fellow business owners, civic leaders and your customers. Keep the vibe going and **DO NOT** get discouraged if sales didn't set records, because you can always grow and build.
