For the first time, Shop Small Saturday is promoting local small businesses in the UK on December 7, 2013.

The dedicated UK Small Business Saturday website offers an easy and quick download of digital marketing tools, like posters, logos, and suggested social media posts. There’s also a kit of printed posters, stands and badges you can have sent to your business by post.

Some local councils are creating local buzz with incentives like free parking that day.

What other countries are celebrating some form of Small Business Saturday? I’d love to hear about it!

Are you using Shop Small Saturday to drive more business to your local businesses? Our small town shop local guide can help.
