Small Business Saturday

Saturday, November 27

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Kenneth I. Chenault, Chairman and CEO of American Express, recently launched "Small Business Saturday," a nationwide effort to promote small businesses. When shoppers spend $25 or more, using a registered American Express Card, they will receive a $25 statement credit. It's a wonderful way to bring customers downtown and to help them stretch their holiday shopping dollars.


Small Business Saturday is a way to encourage consumers to patronize small businesses both during the holiday season and throughout the year. There are a number of ways for small businesses and consumers to get involved - to learn more, you can visit www.facebook.com/smallbusinesssaturday.

Sincerely,

John Hinnant
