Small Business Saturday® is a day dedicated to supporting small busi- nesses on the busiest shopping weekend of the year. Small Business Sat- urday was created by American Express in 2010 as a response to small business owners' most pressing need: getting more customers. Held on the Saturday following Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday helps rally communities to support local businesses. As Small Business Satur- day enters its ninth year, 55 percent of U.S. consumers report they are aware of the day – the highest fi gure yet recorded – and even more en- couraging, 83 percent say Small Business Saturday inspires them to Shop Small all year long.
