Poteau Mainstreet Matters dba Historic Downtown Poteau celebrates the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday® by hosting a day of shopping, community, and the holiday light show in Historic Downtown Poteau as an American Express® Neighborhood Champion.
Poteau, OK: Poteau Mainstreet Matters dba Historic Downtown Poteau announced today that, as a member of the American Express® Neighborhood Champion Program, it will host an all-day shopping event and holiday light show as part of Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov 30. Created by American Express in 2010, Small Business Saturday celebrates the impact small businesses have on communities across the country.
THROUGHOUT THE DAY-LONG EVENT, SATURDAY, NOV. 30TH, POTEAU MAINSTREET MATTERS WILL BE PROMOTING EACH STORE’S UNIQUE APPROACH TO THE DAY, SUCH AS SERVING PUNCH TO PATRONS, OR RUNNING SPECIAL DEALS IN THEIR STORE. POTEAU MAINSTREET WILL ALSO BE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE LIVE MANNEQUINS FOR STOREFRONT DISPLAYS. FESTIVE MUSIC WILL BE PLAYING IN THE POCKET PARK, AND THE HOLIDAY LIGHT SHOW WILL BE TURNED ON THAT NIGHT AT DARK.
This year’s celebration is the 10th Annual Small Business Saturday, marking a decade of support from American Express for local business owners. Since it started in 2010, consumers have reported spending an estimated $103 billion across all Small Business Saturdays combined. That’s $103 billion toward helping communities thrive, spent over just nine days alone.
In order to drive shoppers to Shop Small® this Nov 30, Poteau Mainstreet Matters dba Historic Downtown Poteau is participating in the American Express® Neighborhood Champion Program to spotlight small businesses and the impact they have on communities. An average two-thirds of every dollar ($0.67) spent at a small business in the U.S. stays in that local community. That means shopping small could help bring things like better schools, smoother roads, and new jobs to neighborhoods across the country.
