GET TO KNOW SHOP SMALL
The Beginning
Shop Small started in 2010, when Amex created Small Business Saturday® to encourage support for small businesses and their communities.
The Impact
U.S. consumers have reported spending an estimated $184 billion at small businesses on Small Business Saturday® since the movement started.***
The Movement
Shop Small has grown to be a year-round movement that supports small businesses across the globe.
***This spend statistic is an aggregate of the average spend as reported by consumers who shopped small on Small Business Saturday in surveys commissioned by American Express reporting spend habits on Small Business Saturday since 2012. It does not reflect actual receipts or sales. Each such survey was conducted online among a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. The data was projected from the samples based on then-current U.S. Census estimates of the U.S. adult population (18+).
