Small Business Saturday?

Guess what they've come up with to "help" the weak economy? It seems that what matters most is money. The powers that be will make any excuse to perpetuate "business as ususual". So, to boost the economy American Express has come up with the idea of dedicating this Saturday as Small Business Saturday.

Local Retailers Gear Up For "Small Business Saturday" November 26, 2010 11/27/10 - You probably know that the day after Thanksgiving is commonly referred to as “Black Friday,” but you may not have heard about the new name for the day after Black Friday. Today marks the first ever “Small Business Saturday” – a day designed to promote small, independent businesses and encourage shoppers to spend their money locally. Both the Howell and Brighton Area Chambers of Commerce have been promoting the event, and many local businesses plan to have special sales and deals in place for the day. American Express, which launched the idea of Small Business Saturday, says that for every $100 spent in local, independent businesses, $68 stays in the community. The Small Business Saturday page on Facebook is said to be the fastest growing page in history, with over 1 million fans in less than a week.
