Sandwiched in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is Small Business Saturday®! It’s an annual event that encourages consumers to shop locally in person and online at small businesses. It takes place every November on the Saturday after Black Friday and is a wonderful opportunity to increase sales for small businesses during the holiday shopping season.
How Small Business Saturday® Began
During the recession in 2010 — American Express created Small Business Saturday® on the Saturday after Thanksgiving to encourage people to Shop Small and bring more holiday shopping to small businesses. As the movement gained momentum, Small Business Saturday® was recognized by the U.S Senate and all 50 states in 2011.
Officially cosponsored by SBA (U.S. Small Business Administration) since 2011, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses’ busiest shopping season.
“Historically, reported projected spending among U.S. consumers who shopped at independent retailers and restaurants on Small Business Saturday reached an estimated $23.3 billion” according to the 2021 Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey commissioned by American Express.
Tools To Kickstart The Holiday Shopping Season
We’re here to help your small jewelry business succeed during the busiest days of the holiday shopping season and beyond! Stuller celebrates local jewelry entrepreneurs and encourages shoppers to buy from small businesses in their area.
Our founder, Matt Stuller, discovered his calling in the jewelry industry when he was a teenager, and by 19 he had an 8×8’ space in his father’s orthodontic office where he cast and polished jewelry findings. While his father wasn’t thrilled, Matt had a vision that wasn’t to be deterred. He started off as a small business entrepreneur 52 years ago and has evolved Stuller into the international enterprise it is today.
