Show Off Your Small Business Saturday Shop

Small Business Saturday is next Saturday, Nov. 29.

The effort, sponsored by American Express, as an initiative to call attention to small, local businesses that are often the backbone of our communities.

Are you participating in the Small Business Saturday initiative? Want a free plug? All you need is a Patch account and we’ll help you tell your story.

Post information about your store, a product or service it might offer, or anything else about the business directly to your home Patch site via contribute.patch.com. Please also add a picture of your store or products.

After you do that, a Patch staffer will move your post onto the front page of your home Patch site and share it on our social networking sites, putting your product, service, and store, in front of thousands of readers in your community.

This promotion is free but you have to put the information up between now and Friday, Nov. 28, in order to maximize the audience response to your product, service, or store.

If you don’t have a Patch account, create one here.
