Make Every Day Small Business Saturday By Patrick Kitchen, Special to Sonoma Media Investments
Happy Thanksgiving! Tomorrow brings the official start of
the holiday shopping season, the unbelievable crowds of
Black Friday. If you choose to brave that pandemonium at
national big-box stores, we encourage you to save valuable time, energy and money for the next day – Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday is a day to celebrate and support
small businesses and all they do for their communities. On the calendar, it’s just one day. But, in this special season of
recovery and renewal, we’re encouraging our readers to do all their holiday shopping locally and give great, one-of-a-
kind gifts while enjoying the many benefits that supporting local businesses provides for you and your community. Shopping Local Means Finding the Perfect Gift
Let’s start by taking a look at how doing your shopping
locally can help ease holiday season stress. We all know the feeling: the gnawing anxiety of finding the perfect gift. In
fact, research shows that 84% of shoppers find gift giving
stressful, while finding and purchasing the right gift stresses shoppers more than both holiday travel and spending time with extended family. Ouch!
Studies also show that shoppers increasingly distrust online
product reviews. So it’s no surprise that more and more
people are flocking to the more personal experience of local shopping to help ease the stress of finding the perfect gift.
Shopping local provides the opportunity to see and touch
what you want to buy, and because local businesses hire
employees with a better understanding of the products they sell, they are better equipped to answer your questions and
help you find the right gift, resulting in a much higher level of customer satisfaction.
A Special Advertising Publication • November 23, 2017
Local-Matters-HolidayGuide2rev-112317.indd 11
Local businesses help break the mold of boring big-box
gifting by offering a wider variety of one-of-a-kind products
that are often better produced than their big-box counterparts. More variety means more opportunity to find the perfect gift,
and the personal approach taken by local business owners and their employees helps take the stress out of holiday shopping by taking the guesswork out of finding the perfect gift. Shopping Local Strengthens Your Community
Studies show that when consumers buy local, more of their
buying dollar stays in the community. That means that when
you shop local more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, recirculating a greater share of
every dollar back into the local economy and creating locallyowned supply chains while creating more local jobs.
On average, 48 percent of each purchase from local
businesses recirculates locally, compared to less than 14 percent of purchases from big-box retail chains. Local
businesses also boost local employment. They provide a
positive effect on income and employment growth while reducing poverty. That’s a major local investment!

The Celebrate Community Partnership, founded by The Press Democrat in the year 2000, is making a difference in our local community by donating advertising to nonprofit organizations that provide critical services to those in need. In addition, they meet once a year to discuss various nonprofit project proposals having to do with Education, Health, or Safety for Legacy Fund consideration.
