Bill > SR46

Introduced Session

This Senate Resolution encourages the residents of New Jersey to continue to support and observe "Small Business Saturday," a day that is promoted by small businesses to encourage residents to purchase holiday gifts at smaller stores and businesses in their local communities. There are approximately 800,000 small businesses operating in New Jersey, which employ an estimated 1.7 million individuals in this State. These small businesses are the backbone of our State, providing services and employment to individuals throughout the State in such varied industries as finance, health care, the arts, real estate, manufacturing and retail, among many others. "Small Business Saturday" was initiated by the American Express Company in 2010. The program offers incentives to consumers through additional credit on their credit cards for purchases made on that Saturday in registered small businesses. Furthermore, small businesses benefit through subsidized advertising activity intended to promote shopping at local, small businesses.
