It&#8217;s a grass roots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to &#8216;shop local&#8217; and support small businesses in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>Retailers and small businesses can get involved in a number of ways:<\/p>\n<p>1. You can register your business and advertise for free in the <a href=\"https:\/\/smallbusinesssaturdayuk.com\/my-small-business\">Small Business Finder<\/a>.<br \/>\n2. You can download and use the logo on your website and social media.<br \/>\n3. Download the free marketing pack in English and Welsh.<br \/>\n4. Have your social media amplified by sharing with the SBS team.<\/p>\n<p>As consumers, we can all get involved by shopping local on the day. Support your independent stores rather than just buying all of you Christmas presents with the big online companies.<\/p>\n<p>The Small Business Saturday bus tour took in 29 locations around the UK this year and offered free business mentoring to small businesses supported by ACCA accountants.<\/p>\n<p>The video has been viewed over 1,160 times already.
