Small Business Saturday - November 28, 2015 - is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses across the country. Founded nationally in 2010, this day is celebrated on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The Outer Banks Chamber of Commerce is a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday and Chamber member businesses and consumers are encouraged to #SHOPSMALL on Saturday, November 28.

 

Leading up to the day, Chamber members will deliver Small Business Saturday promotional materials to member businesses that are interested in participating. Members can sign up by calling the Chamber at 252-441-8144. Small businesses can participate by promoting #SHOPSMALL on November 28 and/or by offering discounts or special offers on this day to encourage consumers to #SHOPSMALL at their retail stores.

In addition to providing materials to the small businesses in support of this effort, the Chamber is encouraging shoppers to take selfies at their favorite stores using their #SHOPSMALLOBX sign and post them online. Shoppers who take a selfie can turn in their sign to the business owner to be entered into a contest for great prizes. The Chamber of Commerce will also be re-posting #SHOPSMALLOBX selfies on its' Facebook page and prizes will also be awarded to shoppers who tag their photos with #SHOPSMALLOBX! Winners will be selected and notified the week of December 7.
