Small Business Saturday was created by American Express 12 years ago and has since become an annual holiday staple. The credit card giant reported that the event brought in about $23.3 billion last year.
In addition to reporting an increase in purchases at small business over the years, they also found that 70% of people they surveyed encouraged others to shop at local stores on Small Business Saturday.
