Today is The 10th Annual Small Business Saturday. It's the one day every year where small businesses are highlighted and promoted. This day was coined by American Express 10 years ago, and it's a great initiative, but small businesses deserve more recognition. That's why over 2 years ago we started what is known as Small Business Saturday Philadelphia. That's right. For the past 2 years, we have been interviewing and promoting small business owners in Philly completely for free. This is our way of giving back to the community while spreading knowledge of small business marketing and awareness! Momentum Digital and I have interviewed over 100 local business owners, ranging from food trucks, tattoo parlors, historical sites, and everything in between. Check out this video montage highlighting 75 featured videos we produced. For those of you who follow me, you know I embody small business and entrepreneurship. It's the heart and soul of our economy. So many hard-working individuals who do what they love and represent their communities. We have our own way of making a living, and it's not easy. Here are some numbers for you .... • There's a 99.9% chance you know a small business owner • There are 30+ million small businesses in the US • 627,000 small businesses are created each year • Small businesses represent roughly 45% of the GDP • 70% of small businesses fail within 10 years Many thanks to everyone who has been part of this SBS program including our team at Momentum, business owners, videographers, co-hosts, and more!
