Small Business Saturday 2021 is here!

It’s November 27, 2021 and Small business Saturday 2021 is finally here!  If you’ve been waiting to support your local small businesses, wait no longer!

Why I support small business

As a woman owned small business, I know how hard it is to own and run a small business.  You wear many hats – from the purchasing of raw materials to production of goods; from the marketing and advertising to the speaking engagements and shows – we do it all.  So, whenever I see a small local business, I try to support them.

Supporting Small Business Saturday everywhere

Even when I travel to other cities around the country, I like to stop into the local shops.  These are great places to get some local foods and souvenirs.  I’d much rather spend my money on a quality, hand-made item than I would on something mass produced from the big box stores.  These hand-made items have so much more character and better quality than something produced in the factory.  While I don’t discount factory items (I mean, some things are more efficient that way and who would want a refrigerator that was made by hand?), I love to see the many interesting and creative things that people are making.  There’s a sense of peace you get when you can make something yourself.  And, if these people are willing to share their goods with me, I’d like to support them!
