Small Business Saturday

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

30 November 2013

The day after

BLACK FRIDAY

I have to wonder what their rationale was on having it the day after Black Friday, Will anyone have any money left after that humongesse selling day?

Buyers will be both broke and exhausted on that day. I would have thought another day closer to Christmas might have been more productive. In our area there a very few, if any, small businesses left. Off hand, I can't think of one that I would go to in hopes of finding a Christmas gift for anyone. The only two that come to mind sell pornography and "products" of an unusual nature. No, I have not been in one .... for many years.

I have had a difficult time finding out how many are in the employee of the SBA, Small Business Association, but could not get a definitive answer. Just wondered the ratio of actual employees working in small businesses and in the SBA. Wondered what that ratio might be.
