Shop Small, Support New Paltz on Small Business Saturday

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, some of the biggest shopping days of the year are approaching. People will be lining up at the front of stores late on Thanksgiving night, ready to purchase the latest gadgets and toys for their loved ones. However, if you're looking to make an impact in your community, shop small and support Small Business Saturday! 

As a student attending SUNY New Paltz, I spend a lot of my time in town on the weekends. On Sundays I love to have brunch, head to the farmers market to pick up fresh produce for the week, and stop by some of the boutiques and shops in town. I love shopping in New Paltz, especially when looking to buy a gift for someone because the stores have so much to offer. I've heard of Small Business Saturday before, but I didn't know much about it and I was looking to see how it  benefits local businesses, so I did some research.
Small Business Saturday began in 2010 by the credit card company, American Express, who created a campaign to change the way consumers shopped in their local towns. They were looking for a way to increase holiday shopping in home towns. Now the movement has generated about $103 billion since it began and towns in all 50 states participate.

It Is Important to support local businesses In order to Increase the vibrancy of towns and keep your favorite shops alive. By buying from local businesses, you are not only helping the business, but the community as well. The surrounding area has over 1,000 local businesses from coffee shops to record stores and antique shops. Below is a snapshot of our members to get you started.

Shopping
New Paltz is one of the best places to get your holiday shopping done because there are so many options to choose from. Visit our gift shops, clothing & shoe stores, custom framing, art galleries, and more. Start on Main Street and head downtown, stopping on Church Street to visit their book stores, chocolate shop, and coffee shops before heading down to Water Street Market.
