Small Business Saturday - Shop Local

The Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of Commerce has been a participating Neighborhood Champion with American Express for over a decade, and we don't plan to stop now!

This year, we’re celebrating Small Business Saturday™! Small Business Saturday is a global marketing created back in 2010 by American Express. It is designed to bring awareness to how shopping locally has a large positive impact on our community. Small businesses are your neighbors and friends. They provide over 60% of all new jobs, and they are the first people we call upon to support local initiatives, nonprofits, and youth activities.

When they thrive, we thrive!

As part of this initiative, we’re challenging you to support the small businesses in our area that make our community one of the best around. We’re asking you to make a small change in your spending habits for a big impact on our community this holiday season. Committing to switching just one thing you buy from an out-of-town business, can mean an increase of about 20% in revenue for our community. Imagine what we could do if everyone pledged to shop locally.
