A grassroots, not-for-profit campaign, Small Business Saturday first came to the UK in 2013
has grown into an iconic campaign celebrating small business success and encouraging consumers to ‘shop local’ and support businesses in their communities.
The campaign was originally founded by American Express in the U.S. in 2010, and the brand
remains the principal supporter of the campaign in the UK.
On Small Business Saturday customers across the UK go out and support all types of small
businesses, from independent shops and restaurants to small service and b2b based
businesses like accountants and digital marketeers. Many small businesses take an active
role in promoting the day by hosting events and offering promotions.

combined spend on the day topping over £1 billion.

all year. Last year the campaign trended at number one in the UK on Twitter, with the Prime Minister, leader of the opposition and the Mayor of London among those publicly supporting the campaign.
