Support Orange County on Small Business Saturday
By: Orange County Office of Economia Development & Tourism
Saturday, November 25 is Small Business Saturday – a day to celebrate and support small businesses around the country and all they do for their individual communities! Orange County is lucky to have a plethora of diverse, small businesses in its vibrant Main Streets in Orange and Gordonsville, as well as around the county from Barboursville to Locust Grove. The Small Business Administration says “ This year, we know that small businesses need our support now more than ever as they navigate, retool and pivot from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Please join SBA and organizations across the country in supporting your local small businesses by shopping at a small business. Founded by American Express in 2010 and officially cosponsored by SBA since 2011, Small Business Saturday has become an important part of small businesses ’ busiest shopping season. Historically, reported projected spending among U.S. consumers who shopped at independent retailers and restaurants on Small Business Saturday reached an estimated $17.9 billion according to the 2022 Small Business Saturday Consumer Insights Survey commissioned by American Express. ” The Orange County Office of Economic Development and Tourism has a limited number of official Small Business Saturday marketing materials. Social Media graphics can be downloaded from American Express. Interested business owners should stop by the Economic Development & Tourism Office at 109 West Main Street, Orange, VA 22960, to pick up materials and learn how to be a part of this important program, or email Regan McKay at rmckay@orangecountyva.gov for more information.
