Sign up for Small Businesses Day
UK – A councillor has called for backing for the idea of a “Small Business Saturday” to celebrate and encourage consumers to shop at small local shops.
Councillor Margaret Pattison says “Small Business Saturday” would be used to encourage people to shop at independent businesses in their local area.
It would be promoted through local and regional authorities, local trade associations and business bodies, events showcasing small businesses’ contribution to their local economies and through online, national, regional and local media.
