Southern economics relies heavily on local shopping. Hattiesburg and the surrounding areas have a variety of boutiques and other fashion retailers that are locally owned. Consumers value the relationship that is made between small business owners and the customers. Shopping local is a special experience. You are not only putting money back into the community but you can also enjoy having your name and face remembered.
Each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, shoppers across the country enjoy Small Business Saturday. The holiday is a twist off of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Small Business Saturday supports and celebrates small businesses everywhere.
This holiday is very beneficial for small towns like Hattiesburg that are built on the foundation of small businesses. Customers may decide to shop it boutiques that they do not normally go into and then become regulars. This is perfect timing considering people are generally buying for Christmas after the Thanksgiving holiday.
Do your part to support local businesses. Keep Calm and Shop Local!
