With Thanksgiving approaching fast, people are starting to get ready for the shopping spree that follows. Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday are seen as the biggest shopping events, Small Business Saturday is also a great day to shop deals. Small Business Saturday offers people a great chance to get out and explore some of the small businesses in their area, which usually aren’t destinations on Black Friday, as the major retailers draw most of the shoppers.
Last year, 88 million people took part in Small Business Saturday, and this year it could draw even more. This year’s Small Business Saturday will take place on Saturday, November 28th - the day after Black Friday.
You have the opportunity win great prizes by taking part in Small Business Saturday. All you have to do is use #ShopSmallSTC on Facebook and Twitter to share where you are shopping during the day. People who use the #ShopSmallSTC hashtag will automatically be entered to win great prizes from a variety of local businesses in the St. Cloud Area.
Winners will be randomly selected following the event on Monday, November 30th. If you win a prize, you will be notified by a private Facebook message or a direct message on Twitter, which will inform you as to which prize you won and how you can go about claiming it.
This is a great opportunity not only for yourself but also for your community. By shopping on Small Business Saturday, you can help the small businesses of St. Cloud grow and thrive as the money people spend stays in the community rather than going to huge corporations. So get up, get out, and shop local on Small Business Saturday - and don’t forget to share your experience on Facebook and Twitter using #ShopSmallSTC.
