When is Small Business Saturday? This holiday is the Saturday after Thanksgiving

Small Business Saturday is held each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. And, it’s a really important day for your neighborhood retail shops, helping them to get a slice of the huge holiday market. Following on the heels of Black Friday shopping, don’t miss participating in this important holiday.

Small Business Saturday is the much smaller kid brother to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Small businesses participate in Black Friday and Cyber Monday. However, their efforts are dwarfed by the big, national chain stores and the monster-sized Amazon. Of course, small businesses do not have sizeable advertising budgets and brand awareness to compete with the big stores on these two mega-shopping days. Sales numbers on these two days can actually be lower for small businesses, as consumers focus upon the many deals the big stores offer and advertise over every media outlet in existence.

Small Business Saturday is a hugely important day for small business owners. On this day, the focus is solely on these small, hometown shops. It brings awareness to the presence of these small shops. Before today, you just might have driven past these shops, without really seeing them as you head to a big box store. Small Business Saturday drives shoppers to local stores in big numbers, if only for the day. It builds awareness that there is indeed a shop right in the community, that offers a plethora of different and unique holiday gift ideas. This day can have long-term, positive effects on your local businesses well beyond this one day. And, it has a positive impact on your local economy.

We hope you embrace this special day, by shopping at locally-owned retail outlets. And, keep them in mind all year long.

Why Support Small Business Saturday?

There are many reasons to support locally-owned businesses in your community.

On Small Business Saturday, these quaint little shops offer promotions and sales. Free samples are sometimes given out. You might find a sweet treat of chocolate or a cookie, as you enter the store. This day has seen consistent year-over-year sales growth rates, but not as big as Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The small business employs millions of workers. These are your neighbors and friends, who live on your street, go to your church, and belong to your clubs and organizations. In addition to the owners, if large enough, small, local, Mom and Pop businesses can employ family members and a few other people who live in your community.

Your neighborhood stores are not able to take advantage of volume discounts from their suppliers. As a result, profit margins are much smaller. Frankly, they need your support.

Small business survives on your patronage. They have little or no advertising budgets. They rely on outdoor signage, and a good location. Word of mouth is very important for generating sales. Outstanding and personal customer service is essential for gaining loyal, repeat customers.

Small Business Saturday encourages us to support our local businesses. It focuses on local retail outlets. This applies to small, locally owned restaurants, coffee shops, and delis as well. Use this day to patronize your local mom-and-pop restaurants and delis, too. Supporting them puts money back into your local community.

Your small, local businesses offer a unique and pleasant atmosphere. They often offer products that you can’ get in the big box stores or online. These products are more often than not “Made in America” and created by your hometown crafters. Product quality is often much better, too.  

How to Participate in Small Business Saturday

Participation in Small Business Saturday is straight forward:

  • Support the many small businesses in your local area. They depend on you for their survival. 
  • Support small businesses online. They have the ominous task of competing in the internet marketplace dominated by Amazon and a few others.

Did You Know? There are over 33 million small businesses in the United States.

I envy people who age gracefully. They age like a fine wine. I age like milk…. becoming sour and chunky. Author Unknown

History and Origin of Pumpkin Destruction Day

Adam Pugh, the General Manager of Rock Ranch in The Rock, Georgia created this day in 2006. Pugh asked the ranch owners for permission for people to “smash the leftover pumpkins for fun”. The smashed pumpkins would be left in the field to rot as compost, thus avoiding putting them needlessly into landfills. Rock Ranch is a 1,500-acre ranch created by Chick-fill-A founder S. Truett Cathy as a foster home for kids. Pugh was given permission for this event, and it was a huge success.

This holiday originated as “Pumpkin Destruction Day”. It is also listed in the 2020 Chase Calendar of Events as “Pumpkin Destruction Day”, with reference to Adam Pugh, the creator. Some internet sites incorrectly refer to it as “National Pumpkin Destruction Day”.

We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation creating this day as a true national day.

Definition of “National” Days – Learn why it is important to identify and distinguish true National days.

Additionally, there are several internet references to “Pumpkin Destruction Day” or “Pumpkin Smashing Day” sponsored by individual local greenhouses or pumpkin farms. These local events are generally held a week shortly after Halloween.

Pins and Needles Day

Safety Pins. When is Pins and Needles Day? November 27 holiday.

When is Pins and Needles Day? This holiday is always observed on November 27

We understand how you can be on edge today. It’s because this is Pins and Needles Day. The original intent of this holiday is to commemorate the opening of the pro-Labor play Pins and Needles on Broadway on this day in 1937. Over decades, people lost track of the original meaning of this November 27 holiday. 

Today, most people look upon Pins and Needles Day, as a nervous and anxious day. It’s a day of eager anticipation, as we await an event or for something to happen. One could argue that kids are on pins and needles from now until Christmas, as they nervously wonder if they have been good enough to receive a visit from Santa in a few weeks.

Of all the special days on the calendar, this is a nerve-racking day. You are on pins and needles until that special future event successfully unfolds. And, if it doesn’t………. well we will just think positively.

We hope you have a happy, and calm, and relaxing Pins and Needles Day!

How to Celebrate Pins and Needles Day

Here are a few ways to celebrate during this anxious holiday:

  • First and foremost, remain calm or attempt to.
  • Research the 1937 play Pins and Needles.
  • Then, identify the things that make you nervous or anxious. Look to remove them from your life.

Philanthropy Day

Earth Animation. How to Create Holidays

When is Philanthropy Day? This holiday is always observed on November 15

National Philanthropy Day is today, a November 15 holiday. Throughout history, Philanthropists have made great contributions to those in need, and to worthy causes. According to the official National Philanthropy Day website, this day is set aside to “recognize and pay tribute to the great contributions that philanthropy – and those people active in the philanthropic community – have made to our lives, our communities, and our world.”

Great philanthropists are known in history for their many and frequent monetary contributions, big and small. Many of them do so in a quiet way, not looking for recognition. Others get a hospital wing, or a building named in their honor.

While we commonly view Philanthropy as a monetary contribution, voluntary efforts at fundraising are also within the definition of philanthropy. So, if you have little extra money to contribute, do so. If not, turn your labor effort into charitable cash contributions by participating in fundraisers, making you a Philanthropist!

How to Celebrate Philanthropy Day

  • Leave a great legacy. Be known for your contributions to people and worthy causes.
  • If you have enough assets to support a charity, a cause, or someone need, do so today. That makes you a philanthropist. You may not be giving millions, but you are doing your part.
  •  Contact a philanthropist, to seek a donation to someone in need or to a worthy cause.
