Making the Most of Holiday Marketing


You can reach more audiences when you collaborate with us! StayLocal is here to amplify the Shop Local message. Let us know about special events, promotions, and/or sales you're hosting and we'll help spread the word via our established audiences on our social media channels and by getting the attention of traditional media outlets, too.

Supporting local businesses isn’t just a feel-good gesture—it’s a powerful way to consumers boost our community. Since its inception in 2010, Small Business Saturday—falling on the Saturday after Thanksgiving—has been a game-changer, uniting small business owners with local shoppers to jumpstart the holiday season. Last year alone, American Express reported a staggering $17 billion spent at independent retailers and restaurants on this day. See the Small Business Saturday resources below and jump in on the action Saturday, September 30.
