Don’t forget Small Business Saturday for your holiday shopping needs

Yes, it’s a thing.

Small businesses want you to remember them by shopping at their stores, too. Many have websites, so you can also order online.

About half of Americans plan to buy from a small business today.

The Better Business Bureau has the following tips for shopping on Small Business Saturday:

• Invite friends and family to join in on the shopping.
• Eat locally, too.
• Get involved in community events.
• Research local shops before going out.
• Connect with businesses through social media and post using #ShopSmall.

Enjoy contributing to your local community. As the pandemic continues, local businesses need your continued support.
