Small Business Saturday - November 29th, 2014 In five years, Small Business Saturday has become a permanent fixture on the holiday shopping calendar. This year, on November 29th, we hope that you will stand up to be counted among the hundreds of organizations supporting small businesses across the country. The GWPACC invites you to support the effort by joining the Small Business Saturday Coalition (SBSC), the national grassroots effort supporting the campaign. As a member of the Coalition you will have access to special communications tools and be listed on ShopSmall. Sign-up at wipp.force/SmallBusinessSaturday. It will provide SBSC with the information they need to help connect you and highlight you in supporting the effort. We ask that you complete this application as soon as possible. Your involvement is crucial to Small Business Saturday’s success. Last year the Coalition and its members helped achieve incredible results: • A remarkable 71 percent of American surveyed said they were aware of Small Business Saturday. • Those consumers who were aware of Small Business Saturday spent a total of $5.7 billion with independent merchants on the day. • Online tools and materials were leveraged more than 346,000 times by small business owners to help get the word out about Small Business Saturday. • More than 352,000 tweets were sent in support of Small Business Saturday in the month of November. The SBSC will provide a turnkey communications toolkit early in the fall to make your participation as easy as possible. Also, they will stand by to answer any questions you might have. Additionally, they will send you occasional updates and special announcements about the 2014 program as they are made.
