🙌 How You Can Celebrate Small Business Month

Shop local first. Take a stroll down Stittsville Main Street or stop into a member business near you.

Be a digital customer. Order online, choose local delivery, or leave a review.

Spread the word. Tell friends and family about a local business owner’s great service or unique products.

Show some love online. Share posts from local businesses or tag them in your own.

Think local before big box. Remember the businesses that support our kids’ sports teams and local charities.

📣 SBA’s Role in Small Business Month
Throughout the month, we’ll:

Spotlight our members on social media and in our newsletter.

Share customer stories and testimonials that highlight the value of local.

Encourage the community to participate in shop local challenges and giveaways.
