Celebrate 10 Years of Small Business Saturday with Us
North Country Chamber Encourages Visitors and Locals to #ShopSmall on November 30th
Plattsburgh, NY – It’s no secret that the weekend following Thanksgiving is one of the year’s busiest for shopping in the U.S. There’s Black Friday for the go-getters who set their alarms and camp outside big box stores in the wee hours of the morning. There’s Cyber Monday for shoppers still nursing their turkey comas, preferring to browse from the comfort of their living room couches. And then there’s that Saturday, which since 2010 has been reserved for shoppers looking to actively support local businesses in their communities. November 30th marks the 10th annual Small Business Saturday founded by American Express and, as a neighborhood champion for this day, the North Country Chamber of Commerce encourages you to #shopsmall!
Over 50 local businesses have signed up for the Chamber’s FREE Small Business Saturday campaign this year, offering deals and discounts for shoppers to take advantage of on November 30th. To add a little extra challenge and some friendly competition, the Chamber created the Small Business Saturday Scavenger Hunt.
Here’s how it works:
1. Download the Scavenger Hunt at northcountrychamber.com/sbs, pick it up at the Chamber’s outdoor kiosk or at any of the participating businesses.
2. Check out the list of participating small businesses at northcountrychamber.com/sbs.
3. Get out on November 30th and start snapping photos at participating businesses using the following categories listed on the Scavenger Hunt!
4. Tag the North Country Chamber and SCORE Mentors – Clinton, Franklin, Essex in all photos on Facebook and/or Instagram to get your points.
5. Get 10+ points and return the sheet to the North Country Chamber of Commerce (7061 State Route 9, Plattsburgh) by December 6th to be entered to win some awesome, local products!
You can join in the fun on social media using the hashtag #ncshopsmall. So visit northcountrychamber.com/sbs for a list of participating #shopsmall businesses and get your shopping
