Small Business Saturday in Austin | PR by the Book

POSTED BY prbythebook ON November 23, 2012

In case you haven?t heard of Small Business Saturday yet, it?s a new annual event that takes place every November between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Created by American Express, the day encourages shoppers to go local for all of their shopping needs.

Living in Austin, TX the small business culture is strong. In fact, as an Austinite, you might recognize most of the stores in the commercial for Small Business Saturday last year:

We too, are a small business in Austin. We just celebrated 10 years in business and are happy to be operating in such a vibrant town for entrepreneurs. The community around us is a great source for resources and support (and we are certainly thankful for them this holiday). Here are a few other local businesses we?re connected to. If you?re an Austinite, make sure you support them this Saturday:

?

Monkey Mat
Christie Barany created her very own solution to the nightmare of finding a clean surface for her kids to play on: Monkey Mat. It?s a highly portable blanket that is water resistant and easy to clean. Useful in all playful and practical situations, Monkey Mat is great for outdoors and indoors. (Plus, it?s a? great gift for moms if you?re shopping this weekend.)

Discount Thief
Donna L. Johnson is a local fashionista who has made it her mission to save our closets and our wallets. If you could use a daily dose of fashion tips, blogging tips, or just a daily dose of funny, make sure you follow her on Twitter, @DiscountThief.

Physician?s Way
Dr. Richard Kelley is the co-founder of Physician?s Way, a local weight-loss and health management program. Dr. Kelley helps individuals meet their health and fitness goals and one of the latest tools he?s created to help is the book, The Fitness Response.
