Get Ready to Shop Small!

This Saturday is, of course, “Small Business Saturday.” In case you missed it, American Express is the founder of the “Shop Small® movement: “American Express cares deeply about thriving communities and believes small businesses are at the core of every successful neighborhood. That’s why — in the midst of the recession in 2010 — we created Small Business Saturday® on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses.”

American Express provides a wealth of resources for small business owners to help them make the most of Small Business Saturday, including an opportunity to list your business on their Shop Small® map. In addition, they publish a list of “Neighborhood Champions”; you can find a local Champion or apply to become one here.

AmEx Pledges $10 Million in Grants and Training

The company is also providing important support for Black-owned businesses, including $10,000,000 over the next four years in grants and training “to support Black business owners as they recover from the pandemic.” American Express is a founding partner of The Coalition to Back Black Businesses.

Etsy: Another Way to Shop Small

Sometimes, “shopping small” doesn’t have to mean “shopping in my city.” Take a look at the many small, independent makers and sellers on Etsy; it’s another great way to “shop local” and support small businesses across the country and maybe even the world.
