What is Shop Small?
​Shop Small is a nationwide movement to celebrate small businesses every day and to help communities thrive.

​Created by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday® is the cornerstone of American Express Shop Small efforts. While Small Business Saturday is highlighted as a special day when we can show our support as a nation for small business owners and our communities, the Shop Small Movement is a year-round campaign to celebrate and support small businesses every day.

Why should I participate in the Shop Small Movement? 
As a consumer, you're a key part in helping small businesses thrive. By shopping or dining at small businesses throughout the year, you're showing your support for the small businesses in your neighborhood in the community you call home.


Picture
Small Business Saturday is a holiday that encourages shoppers to support small brick and mortar businesses. Celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Small Business Saturday enables shoppers to make a big impact in their neighborhoods by supporting a local small business.
​
Why we're all for small all year round
You're shopping small and fueling the Shop Small Movement every time you pick up a latte at the corner coffee shop, buy a new bag at the neighborhood boutique, or catch a show at the town theater. You're supporting the small businesses that make your community vibrant and
unique. Learn more about the Shop Small Movement, and why American Express is proud to back small businesses around the world.
