Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on.
American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Newton.
This holiday season the Newton-Needham Chamber of Commerce has launched a campaign that encourages residents to shop local -- the "Shift Three Pledge" asks those who sign to purchase at least three gifts locally that they would have otherwise purchased online or out of town.
The chamber has also sparked "Ca$h Mobs" in local villages and teamed up with the Newton Cultural Alliance to promote local retail during the Dec. 2 Arts Stroll & Shop.
Last year, 100 million people nationwide participated in Small Business Saturday by shopping at locally owned stores to help boost the economy and their communities.
This year, there are hundreds of businesses in Newton signed up to participate in Small Business Saturday, according to a list on the American Express Small Business Saturday website. A few of those local businesses are in the list below, but you can check out the full list here.
