NOV 30th is SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

Small Business Saturday is Right Around the Corner... I am a proud supporter of the day! The campaign, sponsored by American Express and now in its fourth year, is intended to boost to sales for independently-owned business of the non-corporate, Main Street economy. American Express situated the day smack in the middle of Black Friday and Cyber Monday to encourage consumers to shop small and shop locally. Yes, Small Business Saturday is Nov 30. This is a day no small business would want to miss. Make sure you’re a part of Small Business Saturday 2013.

Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce ________________________________________________________________    The above campaign was created by American Express and I support it. However, here in Western Maine and Mount Washington Valley I propose that we create our own Shop/Buy/Hire Local campaign to support local businesses.    The Shop/Buy/Hire Local mission will be to encourage our citizens to spend locally and save jobs.    Who will Shop/Buy/Hire Local support? Everyone! When you support local businesses, our entire community benefits. Businesses and individuals can support the Shop/Buy/Hire Local Campaign by: Purchasing goods and services locally, wherever possible. Supporting our community through charitable contributions. Encouraging family, friends, vendors, customers and associates to Shop/Buy Local. Hire local residents, whenever possible.
