Establish Yourself in Your Communities

It is imperative to not only establish your small business but establish yourself as an entrepreneur. Get personal! Make sure fellow entrepreneurs and possible customers can put a face to your business. Remaining active within your communities will make Small Business Saturday that much easier for you.

Create a Marketing Plan
Is there a certain product or discount you want to promote this year? Plan on promoting a unique, time-sensitive offer for Small Business Saturday. Create the excitement of Black Friday for your small business. One-day or limited-time deals are difficult to pass up! Then it is time to create your content. Blog, post on social media, and form an email campaign.
You might work with other small businesses to create a special offer or bundle that combines items from both of your businesses as a special deal to your customers. This is a wonderful way to support #ShopSmall while furthering your marketing reach for the special day. Schedule out items and automate the process for your marketing plan to make sure you don’t miss any opportunity to promote your business!
Promote Shopping Small
As a small business owner, you should truly believe in shopping other locally owned small businesses and lead by example. Promote the cause before the date is close. Educating potential customers will help them understand just how important Small Business Saturday is to businesses like yours.
Individuals who are not small business owners may not be aware of the day. Start the conversation to get your viewers thinking about how they invest their dollar. Share the behind the scenes of your process as a small business and how customer investment impacts yourself and your team.
