Small Business Saturday is an initiative that supports small local businesses by encouraging their communities to ‘shop local’. It is an opportunity for small businesses to showcase themselves and to grow by demonstrating the quality and value that it can give to its customers and how it differentiates itself from its larger competitors.
The Small Business Saturday web site contains a directory that local businesses can add themselves to as well as downloadable posters and other marketing materials. Check out the Small Business Finder and list your business there in order to get a head start on your competition.
In order support Small Business Saturday, and to promote the use of local businesses on the day Sutton Council are offering free parking in various locations throughout the Borough on the 5th December, to encourage shoppers to shop locally and support their local high streets (Gibson Road, Wallington Library, Carshalton High Street, Kingsway Road Carpark Cheam).
