Shop Local This Holiday!
Did you know when you shop locally your money is re-circulated over and over to create up to 75% more tax revenue to our community and state? Whether it's decorations, pumpkin pie or gifts that you are shopping for this holiday season, remember to shop locally!
Shopping at these locations means supporting friends  and neighbors, school programs, the community, and our local economy. Local businesses also provide support to many fundraisers and neighborhood events, and in turn deserve our support.

Small Business Saturday Wrap Up: Holiday Shopping on Small Business Saturday
| |
by Marie Johns, SBA Community, December 1, 2011
This Saturday, President Obama took his daughters to a local bookstore to participate in Small Business Saturday.
SBA Administrator Karen Mills went to Boston for the grand opening of a small business called Minerva's Owl, and many others in the Cabinet went to small businesses in their home cities and towns. I had the pleasure of visiting a number of small businesses in the Adams Morgan neighborhood here in Washington, DC, where I live. Adams Morgan is a vibrant neighborhood with over 250 small businesses, from restaurants and eateries, to booksellers and vintage fashion stores.
We all saw the news reports of crowds lining up late at night to shop on Friday. Black Friday sales can be great for saving money, but small businesses are where you go for individualized service and unique, handpicked, Made-in-America products. That's why Americans visited small businesses on Saturday-for the personal touches and quality products that you can't find anywhere else.

Customer Reviews | |
 What are people saying about the EAC Small Business Development Center?
Our company attended a customer service seminar hosted by SBDC. I requested that my employees go to this presentation because of our recent rash of impossible customer demands. We wanted some help on how to handle these demands in a more cheerful and professional manner.
I had no idea that we would get the positive response the very next day! Everyone was more aware and more cooperative. We made some changes in the physical layout so that our main greeter's desk was facing the customers. We turned the radio on so we had some music in the background to help mask the noise of production and conversations in the building. The positive results were wonderful! Thank you for your great service to small business in these trying economic times. We would like to send the remaining employees to a repeat seminar as well.
Local small business, Safford
