Thirty-five businesses in downtown Scarsdale, the Golden Horseshoe and at the Heathcote Five Corners will participate.
The event is the result of a partnership between The Acceleration Project (TAP) and the Chamber of Commerce. Results from TAP's Buy Local study, which included reference to a quantitative survey feedback from local customers, demonstrated a need for meaningful promotions.
"Consumers truly want to support local businesses, but they also want good value,” said Jane Veron, TAP co-founder and co-chief executive officer. “Scarsdale's Small Business Saturday is the perfect answer."
Small Business Saturday has been gaining momentum nationwide as a recognized day for consumers to support their local businesses when beginning their holiday shopping.
"On Nov. 29, it is our hope that local residents patronize local merchants for their holiday gift giving and festivities,” said Lisa Tretler, TAP co-founder. “Our merchants depend on holiday shopping and orders for their long term business health. For every $100 spent in local independent businesses, $45 on average goes back into our local economy versus $0 when spending online."
