Dear BBB Accredited Business,
Black Friday? Cyber Monday? No it's Small Business Saturday!
This Year marks the 4th year that the BBB has supported small businesses and urged consumers to shop local on this special Saturday. Show your support for your favorite small business November 30th!
In the past days, we've all seen the heartbreaking footage of the damage to the Philippines by the Typhoon Haiyan. These images push us to want to help and for most that form of help is monetary. The BBB Wise Giving Alliance gives tips to consumers wanting to send money to help the victims of this devastation.
The Holiday season can mean big money for most retailers, but what about companies that don't see that sales boost around the holidays? The BBB brings you some marketing ideas to help boost your business during the holiday season.
Starting in November businesses start looking for additional employees and consumers start looking for jobs. This also means the competition will be tough when applying for that seasonal job. Find out how you can help your chances of getting that seasonal job!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Small businesses are the cornerstone of any community, creating jobs, spurring local economic growth, and giving back to society. In recent years, small businesses have been overshadowed by the holiday hype of "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday," which tend to emphasis major retailers. But small businesses have much to offer for holiday shoppers!

How to market for the holidays without breaking the budget
Some businesses depend on the holidays for a big portion of their annual revenue. For others, the fall/winter holiday season might be a slow time of year. Either way, this is a great time to engage and connect with your customers.
Holiday marketing doesn't have to mean offering big discounts. There are many ways for businesses on a budget to go after their piece of the holiday pie.
