Cyber Saturday Small Biz UK
Online shopping is trend after #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday, we’re ready to give in to #SmallBizSatUK this weekend on December 5th 2015.
For many budding entrepreneurs, Small Business Saturday, which began in the UK in 2010, to market their ideas. Customers should be remind the critical works done small firms including bars, restaurants, corner shops boosting local economy as employers as providers of vital services and suppliers of goods. We should embrace first not all who fall are fraudsters; some bite the dust through sheer bad luck, others because, the times were too challenging. Honest persons who failed should not be written off! They should be encouraged to start again because we need men or women of that type of grit and determination. It is after all entrepreneurs of this type who are, or should be, the backbone of Free Market Economy.
Small businesses are also planning to offer special promotions to increase and attract more traffic to their websites. How consumers spending locally supporting local business owners can improve their life style, as 70 pence in a pound spent in a small business stays in the local economy compared with only 5 pence per pound when spent elsewhere. In the last five years the Small Business campaign has grown as last year 16.5 million people shopped in small businesses during the cyber event and in doing so supported UK small businesses. Small independent businesses are the heart of UK, both on the high-street and online.
