More at: www.AspenCommunityFoundation.org • Small Business Saturday and Keep it Local Small is beautiful. November 27th is Small Business Saturday®. Help the Basalt Chamber celebrate and support small businesses and all they do for our community. The day is an opportunity to encourage others to #ShopSmall at all the local businesses we love. With the holiday season fast approaching, this is a great chance to support our neighbors, while keeping money in Basalt, instead of shopping at big box stores and online. For every $100- you spend at local businesses, $68- will stay in the community. Independent businesses return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales to the community in which they operate than chain competitors. Small businesses employ 77 million Americans and account for 65% of all new jobs over the past 17 years.
