DESCRIPTION
Black Friday and Small Business Saturday Pull Out for the Saratoga Today Newspaper in Saratoga Springs, New York.TRANSCRIPT
Small But Mighty
SARATOGA SPRINGS –
This Saturday, November 30,
a new tradition continues as
Small Business Saturday will
be celebrated. Whether it’s as
simple as your favorite mom
and pop production or what
you consider to be the best
corner store in town do not
hesitate to step out and help
bring recognition to all the
local businesses that are the
engine of our economy.
Small businesses, which
are built on the foundation
of customer service, will
themselves receive special
recognition for all they do
to ensure that our neighbor-
hood retains a unique home-
town atmosphere. Originally
founded back in 2010 by
American Express, Small
Business Saturday has grown
tremendously since. It was
designed to develop a coun-
terpoint to both Black Friday
and cyber Monday, which are
traditional shopping days for
big box megastores and inter-
net sites, respectively. More
and more businesses con-
tinue to participate and most
have special deals in honor of
this day.
This year, Saratoga
Springs will be making Small
Business Saturday special
at the City Center with the
38th Annual Saratoga Craft
Marketplace (see story page
30). Attendance to the event
is heavily encouraged as
all profits will be donated
straight to the Saratoga
Center for the Family to put
an end to the cruelties of
child abuse and their other
valuable programs.
The artists and the work
that is on display exem-
plify perfectly what Small
Business Saturday is all about.
Individualism, craftsmanship
and creativity are the order of
the day.
