Small Business Saturday Announced For 01 December

Small Business Saturday is a campaign that highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities in stores, in offices or online. The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

This year Small Business Saturday takes place on Saturday 01 December 2018.

All types of small businesses are encouraged to get involved in the campaign whether you are a family business, local shop, online business, wholesaler, business service or small manufacturer. Your business can get involved by:

• registering and advertising your business for free on the Small Business Finder

• downloading the Small Business Saturday logos to use on your website or social media channels

• printing the free Small Business Saturday marketing pack

• telling Small Business Saturday about your plans for the day for further social media promotion.

Find out how to get involved in Small Business Saturday.
