At The Motherhood, we’re always up for a challenge—large or small! That’s why we couldn’t be more thrilled to work with The UPS Store to support Small Business Saturday and the Shop Small Challenge.
While Small Business Saturday is officially celebrated on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 30 this year), it’s not just a day, it’s a movement that encourages shopping small and spending locally.
Small Business Saturday, founded by American Express in 2010 and supported by The UPS Store, helps local shops promote their businesses.
“I’ve found the resources available to small business owners like me to be incredibly valuable,” says Rosie Welsh, owner of Rosebud’s in Aspinwall. “Stocking up on the ‘shop small’ signage and bags from American Express and knowing that our local UPS Store is just a mile down the road helps me think big while still retaining the small-town charm of a local gift store.” (Find Rosebud’s on Facebook!)
To support The UPS Store’s efforts to celebrate small businesses, The Motherhood spoke with Nota Bene Fine Paper Boutique, a neighboring storefront in our community of Aspinwall, about the importance of shopping locally.
