Find Local Shops in Manassas

Black Friday is the day big box stores pray for enough traffic to make it a Merry Christmas.

On Nov. 28, 2015, Small Business Saturday gives shoppers a chance to make the season merry for our great small business owners who need your local support just as much.

American Express created the annual event in 2010. Since then, it has become a holiday shopping staple, along with Cyber Monday and Giving Tuesday.

Encouraging business owners to prepare for Small Business Saturday, USA Today shared some figures:

• 88 million consumers shopped at small businesses on Small Business Saturday 2014 — 1 out of every 4 Americans.
• Consumers spent an estimated $14.3 billion that day.
• Small Business Saturday is the highest sales day of the year for independent bookstores, as a result of the American Booksellers Association’s IndiesFirst campaign.
• Sales more than doubled on Small Business Saturday 2014 compared to an average Saturday, according to Weebly, which hosts small business websites, reported that.

This year, American Express won’t be offering a credit to shoppers as they have in past years, according to Time.
