LA Mart Announces Seminar during Fall GALLA to help Retailers Boost Their Sales During Small Business Saturday

Last year, nearly 100 million consumers shopped small and supported Small Business Saturday, the Saturday following Thanksgiving. This year is gearing up to be even stronger than ever as more consumers commit to shopping their local stores.

Small Business Saturday has become big business for independent retailers. To help retailers harness the promotional power of the day and drive more traffic and sales to their stores, Patricia Norins, Small Business Saturday spokesperson and GIFT SHOP magazine publisher, will lead a fast-paced seminar during LA Mart’s Fall GALLA that will provide etailers with more than 50+ innovative marketing ideas to help them promote their store’s participation.

Following a 75-minute presentation, will be a 30 minute hands-on workshop so retailers can leave the seminar with a plan to begin promoting their businesses immediately. Attendees will also receive a “Shop Local” store window cling and an opportunity to win a one-on-one consultation with Patricia Norins ($100 value).
