The City of San Antonio recently launched the “Shift to Buy Local” campaign just in time for the holiday season. This new initiative aims to bring awareness to the benefits of shopping at local businesses + its impact on the economy.
Fun facts from Small Business Saturday last year:
- American Express shared that there was record-high spending of $19.8 billion for Small Business Saturday across the country.
- 50% of shoppers reported they found local shops + its deals through social media recommendations.
- 56% of shoppers made online-only purchases from small businesses.
No matter if this is your first time in San Antonio or you’re a seasoned local, you can shop small this Saturday + give back to the San Antonians who give us a million reasons to brag about our city. To help you sort out your Saturday shopping plans, we’ve compiled a list of 10 local businesses participating in Small Business Saturday.
