Small Business Saturday

DeKalb SmlBusSat

Supporting local businesses helps DeKalb County preserve what makes our city great. That is why we are pleased to announce that the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce is participating in the second annual "Small Business Saturday SM", a day to shop at small businesses that create jobs, boost national and local economies, and enrich our community.

Small business advocate groups, public and private organizations, and elected officials joined American Express, the founding sponsor of Small Business Saturday, to launch the national program in 2010 in response to small business owners' most pressing need: more demand for their products and services.

Ninety-three percent of consumers agree it is important to support small businesses they value. Last year, more than 1.5 million people shared that sentiment by 'liking' the Small Business Saturday Facebook page. This year the community of like-minded Americans will grow even more.

You can visit Facebook.com/smallbusinesssaturday to join the initiative, give a shout out to your favorite local stores and restaurants, and pledge to shop at small businesses on November 26, 2011!
