Support These Unique Creators By Shopping Their Black Friday Deals
By now, you can’t escape the Black Friday madness. Even if you don’t plan on shopping, you’ve seen what your favorite brands are discounting and what folks will be clamoring over once they’ve fully digested their Thanksgiving feasts. And if you are planning to spend, you may be looking for holiday gifts…or an opportunity to splurge on yourself. (Go ahead, you deserve!) Though Small Business Saturday is just one day after, those smaller and/or minority-owned hustles can still get lost in the sauce of Black Friday busyness by bigger names.
One of the many perks of supporting SHE Media is discovering creators who are making one-of-a-kind things you may not find elsewhere. For example, if you’re set on a stocking stuffer or white elephant gift that isn’t a total snooze, here is where you’ll find that beautiful journal or online course they never knew they needed. Plus, isn’t it just nice to mix things up and spend your money somewhere other than—insert any big-box retailer—?
According to a MetLife and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index survey conducted this summer, a majority of small business owners were hopeful that the worst of the pandemic was over. Whether that’s actually true or not remains to be seen but in the meantime, throw your support behind at least one of these SHE Media creators on Black Friday (November 26). And because word-of-mouth is priceless, be sure to tell a friend or two about them, too.
