American Express is hosting a nationwide campaign on Saturday, November 27th, to promote community support by encouraging consumers to shop small and locally on that day.
In our own hometown of Teton Valley, some of the shops on Main Street from Victor to Tetonia are owned by friends or neighbors with whom we often share a greeting and a smile. Our community has many talented artisans and craftsmen as well as business owners who care enough to make a point to remember us by our first names.
So while we won't begrudge you the opportunity to save at the big stores this holiday season, consider this: for every $100 spent at a local small business, 45% returns to the community. Another great reason to shop small!
Enjoy this holiday season!
