Small Business Saturday is November 25, 2023
The Ballston Spa Business & Professional Association (BSBPA) is once again preparing to promote our member businesses who are participating in Small Business Saturday (SBS), a marketing campaign sponsored by American Express. SBS encourages consumers to “shop small”, which supports independent small businesses as well as local economies and communities. This year, Small Business Saturday is on November 25th.
As a free benefit to BSBPA members, participating members will receive the following:
- Inclusion on the official BSBPA Small Business Saturday printable map guide;
- Inclusion in the official BSBPA “business passport” used for a gift card giveaway
- Listing on a special Small Business Saturday page on the Ballston.org website;
- A personalized graphic showcasing:
- 1-3 photographs of business or products; and
- Any SBS sales/specials details;
- This graphic will be shared on BSBPA social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter;
- SBS promotional materials while supplies last. This may include:
- Tote bags, stickers, signage, balloons, pens, and more.
Please fill out and submit the Small Business Saturday Participating Form below by November 9
The BSBPA is also coordinating an event the morning of November 25th with gift card giveaways to BSBPA member businesses, food, and other local vendors. Additionally, this year there will be a “business passport” where shoppers receive additional entries into the gift card the more participating businesses they make purchases at. There will also be a “meet Santa” event in Wiswall Park along with a local radio station to encourage more people to come to town.
