“Small business represents 99.7 percent of all U.S. employers, and they provide jobs for 58 million Americans,” said Gregg Thompson, state director of NFIB, the nation’s and North Carolina’s leading small-business association. “For many local retail businesses, the holiday shopping season is a make-or-break time, and Americans who want to support their communities and the economy should remember to shop small. small-business-saturday-300x300

NFIB has once again partnered with American Express in a national campaign to promote and support Small Business Saturday.  Small Business Saturday follows Black Friday and is a great way to start your holiday shopping. Many small businesses determine their profitability for the year from sales between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

“Small Business Saturday has grown every year, and we are very proud to sponsor the promotion,” said Juanita Duggan, NFIB President and CEO. “Small Business Saturday is a very important day to recognize small business owners. We hope that more Americans participate on Saturday and they keep small businesses in mind throughout the year.”
