SHOP LOCALLY FOR
SMALL BUSINESS 20
SATURDAY 19
ON NOVEMBER 30, 2019
While “small” may be in the title, there’s nothing little about Small Business Saturday. And though it has only been around since 2010, it’s well on its way to being a regular U.S. holiday shopping tradition. Since it started, consumers have spent an estimated $103 billion over nine days, according to American Express. That’s not a small number. In response to the Great Recession American Express launched Small Business Saturday in 2010 to encourage people to shop at locally-owned shops and businesses and boost local economies. The event took off, with former President Barack Obama even giving it a shoutout in 2013 and urging people to shop local. That year, 1,400 businesses signed up to be Neighborhood Champions to host events, activities and discounts. The event continues to grow, and the number of Neighborhood Champions grew to 7,500 in 2018. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Black Friday and get some shopping out of the way before Cyber Monday hits, Small Business Saturday is the holiday for you. It’s a good way to round out the holiday shopping weekend and find something that’s unique and locally-sourced. There are about 300 small businesses in Bozeman, according
to Downtown Bozeman, and when you shop local, American Express estimates about 67 cents of every dollar stays in your community. Small Business Saturday’s impact is big. People spend billions of dollars at mom n’ pop stores across the country in one day alone, which is nothing to balk at. That impact is felt far and wide across Montana, a state with about 115,326 small businesses, according to a study published by the U.S. Small Business Administration in 2015. And in 2012, small businesses employed two-thirds of the state’s population. Those numbers aren’t too shabby for a state with just over a million people. So get out there and explore your town this Small Business Saturday. Chances are, you’ll find a unique, one-of-a-kind gift and get to support your community along the way.

More small businesses equals more options. A marketplace of thousands of small businesses leads to more innovation and keeps prices lower in the long-term. Small businesses help create character, adding value to your home and property as well as increasing your satisfaction with where you live. It’s good for the planet. When you shop local, you help conserve energy and resources with less fuel for transportation and less packaging.
