Make Every Day Small Business Saturday

By Patrick Kitchen, Special to Sonoma Media Investments

Happy Thanksgiving! Tomorrow brings the official start of

the holiday shopping season, the unbelievable crowds of

Black Friday. If you choose to brave that pandemonium at

national big-box stores, we encourage you to save valuable time, energy and money for the next day – Small Business Saturday.

Small Business Saturday is a day to celebrate and support

small businesses and all they do for their communities. On the calendar, it’s just one day. But, in this special season of

recovery and renewal, we’re encouraging our readers to do all their holiday shopping locally and give great, one-of-a-

kind gifts while enjoying the many benefits that supporting local businesses provides for you and your community.

Shopping Local Means Finding the Perfect Gift

Let’s start by taking a look at how doing your shopping

locally can help ease holiday season stress. We all know the feeling: the gnawing anxiety of finding the perfect gift. In

fact, research shows that 84% of shoppers find gift giving

stressful, while finding and purchasing the right gift stresses shoppers more than both holiday travel and spending time with extended family. Ouch!

Studies also show that shoppers increasingly distrust online

product reviews. So it’s no surprise that more and more

people are flocking to the more personal experience of local shopping to help ease the stress of finding the perfect gift.

Shopping local provides the opportunity to see and touch

what you want to buy, and because local businesses hire

employees with a better understanding of the products they sell, they are better equipped to answer your questions and

help you find the right gift, resulting in a much higher level of customer satisfaction.

A Special Advertising Publication • November 23, 2017

Local-Matters-HolidayGuide2rev-112317.indd 11

Local businesses help break the mold of boring big-box

gifting by offering a wider variety of one-of-a-kind products

that are often better produced than their big-box counterparts.

More variety means more opportunity to find the perfect gift,

and the personal approach taken by local business owners and their employees helps take the stress out of holiday shopping by taking the guesswork out of finding the perfect gift.

Shopping Local Strengthens Your Community

Studies show that when consumers buy local, more of their

buying dollar stays in the community. That means that when

you shop local more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, recirculating a greater share of

every dollar back into the local economy and creating locallyowned supply chains while creating more local jobs.

On average, 48 percent of each purchase from local

businesses recirculates locally, compared to less than 14 percent of purchases from big-box retail chains. Local

businesses also boost local employment. They provide a

positive effect on income and employment growth while reducing poverty. That’s a major local investment!
