small business Black Friday Survival Guide! 

 

1. Avoid malls
2. Shop in town
3. Bring your Ib.l.a.s.t. card
4. Save money
5. Build community

To entice you just a little bit more, American Express has declared November 27th the first ever Small Business Saturday a day to support the local businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country. Small Business Saturday is a national movement to drive shoppers to local merchants across the U.S (sounds like Ib.l.a.s.t. on steroids, right??!!). American Express is offering a $25 credit on any purchase (of at least $25) made on Small Business Saturday at any locally owned independent small business that accepts American Express. Click here to join the movement.
