Small Business Saturday (SBS) is a national movement dedicated to celebrating and supporting small, independently owned businesses. In North Rockland, the Chamber proudly champions this annual event to help drive local spending, increase foot traffic, and raise awareness of the unique businesses that make our community vibrant.
Why Small Business Saturday Matters
Small businesses are the heart of our local economy — they employ our neighbors, create community character, and keep dollars circulating within the region. SBS gives customers a reason to “shop local” at the start of the holiday season and gives Chamber members a platform to shine.
By participating, businesses benefit from:
- Increased visibility during the busiest shopping season of the year
- Promotion through Chamber marketing, social media, and community outreach
- A boost in customer traffic from residents committed to supporting local
- Opportunities to feature specials, discounts, and promotions
📅 How North Rockland Celebrates
Each year, the North Rockland Chamber partners with local businesses and the community to:
- Promote Small Business Saturday through coordinated campaigns
- Share business listings, offers, and holiday specials online and via social media
- Host shopping events and festive activities
- Provide promotional materials to participating businesses
Our goal is to amplify every member’s voice, so no business feels overlooked during the holiday season.
