November 28th is the Saturday after Thanksgiving, and it is best known as Small Business Saturday - the day when businesses around the country register with American Express to be part of their listings to promote shopping small and investing in your community.  This helps to drive sales at smaller stores that often struggle to compete with bigger corporations and chains, and it also helps circulate the money spent back among the people in that area.  Shopping at small businesses also contributes to the local culture and helps sustain unique aspects of a community with the help of family, friends, and neighbors.  Plenty of small businesses offer incentives for customers, such as freebies, discounts, displays, and other eye-catching goodies to help share in the shop-small love. 

Before you hit the major chain stores for holiday shopping, start on November 28th and see if your neighborhood can satisfy your needs.  Happy shopping!
