Small Business Saturday
As a small business, we’re thrilled to be a part of the Shop Small Movement, proudly backed by American Express. Above all, this movement is a nationwide effort to support and celebrate small businesses every day and everywhere.
Small Business Saturday is quickly approaching, however, we’re sharing 3 ways to promote your business on November 30.
1. Utilize the Free Marketing Materials
Utilize the free marketing materials in the Shop Small Studio to get customized email templates, posters, social media assets, and more. Put them to work to encourage shoppers to Shop Small with you on the day. In addition, American Express has added Instagram Stories templates to even further engage with your followers.

3. Review your Customer’s Journey
Review your customer’s journey for the annual Shop Small event. Think of Small Business Saturday as a great way to review your storefront and website in the eyes of your customers. What can be improved to help drive sales? Do you have a retractable banner that is a bit outdated? Likewise, do you wish you had a sidewalk sign that could attract more customers to your store? This is where we can help! To sum up, we’ve compiled a list of helpful marketing materials that can elevate your customer’s journey.
