161 Small Business Saturday With Paul Lawrence Vann

Small Business Saturday is an annual event during the holiday
shopping season to encourage people to shop at small businesses,
as opposed to corporate chain stores. In the US, Small Business
Saturday is part of a series of unofficial holidays focused on
shopping opportunities at what’s considered the beginning of the
holiday season.


Paul Lawrence Vann shares insight on Small Business Saturday and
why consumers should shop at local merchants' shops. First of
all, just as all politics is local, so is shopping and because it
is, local communities are strengthened because local business
owners have employees thus it keeps the community strong.


The tax base is strengthened because of the revenue generated by
local merchants, this is good for the local, state, and national
government. Another aspect of Small Business Saturday in the
pandemic economy is that consumers visited malls, popup shops,
markets, and restaurants which provided an injection to local
economies.


Small Business Saturday is extended because some people aren't
off for the holidays, thus they can also receive discounts
because of the shopping period being extended by a few days or
week.Small Business Saturday provides an infusion for merchants,
online, and brick-and-mortar businesses. From early reports,
local stores have merchandise in place for immediate purchase,
whereby online are running into challenges as a result of the
shipping and logistics problems in U.S. ports.
