In San Antonio, there is a push to support small businesses. It's called the "Buy Local Holiday Campaign." The initiative launched on "Small Business Saturday" and goes through January 3.
The campaign, part of the city's broader "Buy Local" initiative, urges San Antonians to consider the impact of their holiday purchases and spur the local economy by supporting small and locally owned businesses. The city said shifting as little as ten percent of spending to locally owned businesses can make a profound difference for business owners, their employees and the local economy. Online, the Buy Local page also lists the benefits of supporting local: community investment, more jobs, local culture, nonprofit support, better service and reduced environmental impact.
Make sure you check out all the benefits and how you can help just shopping close to home by clicking the BUY LOCAL SA page on sanantonio.gov.
