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.
