While Black Friday sounds like a military operation (and for die-hard bargain seekers, it is), Small Business Saturday has a friendlier ring to it.
Small Business Saturday is a movement to bring awareness to the importance of supporting smaller local businesses by shopping at them.While big box stores and online retailers might offer crazy deals, local businesses provide jobs and generate tax revenue in the community. When area nonprofits or community groups have a need, small businesses are often the first to give back. (Disclaimer: Inland 360 is a family-owned, local business.)
In Inland 360’s Holiday Guide starting this week, we’ll feature some of the items we found in area small businesses in hopes of giving you an idea of what’s out there.
