Happy Thanksgiving! As we embark on this holiday season, we are also embarking on one of the best times of the year for business. Why? Glad you asked! Well, this is the time that shoppers are looking for great deals and in a "buying" mood. This is also the time where you'll see friends, acquaintances, family, and neighbors in different settings. Thus having the opportunity to share what you do and your products.
So, don't close your doors this season and assume people are too busy to buy from you. This is a great time to challenge yourself. Set and accomplish some goals. Take advantage of the holiday season and go out of 2011 with a bang!
One way to accomplish some goals is to participate in Small Business Saturday on November 26, 2011. We've all heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday and now you've got this! Small Business Saturday is dedicated to supporting small businesses. This year is the 2nd annual Small Business Saturday, sponsored by American Express. Take advantage of this day and offer some great sales. You should also support small business yourself that day. Or, "pledge to shop small". Go to an independently owned restaurant or boutique. Shop online from some of the BBWO merchants. Support businesses like yours and encourage others to do so as well.

I plan on trying Matt's Big Breakfast, which is local restaurant and I'm going to check out Nache Snow's, tallook.com. What small businesses are you going to support??
