Small Business Saturday – Shop Small Superior Week
The Superior Business Improvement District and Superior-Douglas County Area Chamber of Commerce are teaming up again to promote Small Business Saturday in an effort to continually support and promote our local small businesses! In the coming weeks, the two organizations will work together to market this national shopping holiday (held every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday) on a local level.
We are excited to continue Shop Small Superior Week – beginning on Small Business Saturday, November 30 and running through December 7. This format allows customers the opportunity to shop over the course of a week vs. concentrating on just one day. As always, we will be promoting the event and raising awareness, but we need you to be on board for this FREE promotion!
Here’s how it works:
1.) Let us know that you’re on board! Complete the form below and we’ll list your promo on the Chamber and SBID websites. Tell us your specials, product/service features, demos, food and drink specials, live music, events. etc. The more excitement we can share, the more people will shop!
2.) We’ll give you some goodies. This year the Chamber and SBID are partnering to offer Shop Small Superior tote bags to each participating business! Use these bags however fits your business best, whether by giving it out with purchases or using it as a give-away item.
- FOR SBID STAKEHOLDERS – Shop Hop Punch Cards! Shop Hop Punch Cards will be back and available for customers to pick up and receive punches when they visit participating SBID businesses listed on the card. When they receive at least 5 punches, cards may be turned in to be entered into a drawing to win BID Bucks. Cards will be available at all participating businesses during Shop Small Week. Businesses should return completed cards to the SBID office by Dec. 16 for the prize drawing.
- FOR CHAMBER MEMBERS – Pay It Forward to Shop Small Promotion! The Chamber promotes shopping local all year long! However, while shopping (and spending) local from November 30th-December 7th at any participating Shop Small Superior Week Chamber Member Business, The Chamber is giving the opportunity to Pay It Forward! For each purchase of $20 or more the customer will have the opportunity to be entered into five separate drawings to receive one of five $100 Gift Cards! A copy of the receipt must be paired with each ticket (provided at time of transaction including Name and Phone #), be collected and turned into the Chamber office by Dec. 16th by participating businesses. Each ticket turned in will be entered into five separate drawings, simply for shopping locally! Spending more locally means more chances to win! Winners will be contacted directly as well as the associated member business.
3.) Promote, promote, promote! Use the marketing materials we give you to help us promote Small Business Saturday – Shop Small Superior Week. We’d love for you to get creative! The Chamber and SBID will work together to do press interviews, social media ads, email advertising, and more to help promote this event.
- NEW THIS YEAR – RIDE THE TROLLEY! – The SBID and City of Superior are sponsoring a trolley to circulate within the District on Small Business Saturday (Nov. 30 only). This will make it so easy for shoppers to get to all the great businesses without long walks or moving a vehicle. Route and operation times to be announced!
4.) Celebrate Small Business Saturday – Shop Small Superior Week. On Saturday, November 30 through Saturday December 7, shoppers and diners will be out in full force! Be sure to keep up the hype by posting about the promotion your social media channels throughout the week!
