Small Business Saturday is coming up Nov. 30. This is an annual event that takes place the Saturday following Thanksgiving.
It is important to show appreciation for the small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. Not only does it boost revenue, foster customer loyalty, and strengthen the local economy, but it is important to keep our local communities thriving.
We have weathered two hurricanes, and this is another great way to show our support to the businesses. Many businesses have gift cards for purchase that makes it easy to shop.
Be sure to check out the local business websites for promotions and deals. If you need some ideas, check our member listings at www.puntagordachamber.com.
As the holidays approach, please remember to shop local.
We are Punta Gorda Strong!
