U.S. Small Business Administration Announces First-Ever Season of Small Business Campaign
The Season of Small Business is a new, SBA-led campaign designed to drive Americans to shop at small businesses throughout the entire holiday season – the busiest shopping time of the year. This holiday season is essential to the success of local, independently owned businesses and small business brands that rely on the surge of consumer spending to achieve their annual revenue goals. Small businesses are a crucial part of local economies and communities – they are responsible for more than 40% of America’s economic output and two-thirds of net new jobs.
