Celebrating National Small Business Week with BBB: Supporting Small Businesses and Empowering Entrepreneurs

National Small Business Week is fast approaching, and with it comes a time to celebrate the resilience and dedication of small business owners across the country. According to Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas, while 80% of businesses survive their first year, many do not make it past the 5-year mark.

To help businesses beat the odds, BBB offers a variety of resources and support. With over 10 million visitors to bbb.org each month, businesses can increase their visibility and credibility by earning the BBB seal. Additionally, BBB provides business tools, professional development opportunities, and educational resources to help businesses thrive.

During National Small Business Week, BBB encourages everyone to support their favorite local businesses. By buying locally, you can help stimulate the local economy and show your appreciation for small businesses in your community.

For business owners looking to engage their team members and customers during Small Business Week, BBB offers some suggestions. Celebrate with your team by investing in their development and hosting special treats. Spread the word on social media using hashtags like #SmallBusinessWeek to attract customers to your business. Consider running giveaways or promotions that incorporate local shopping to keep the energy going all week.

Lastly, show your customers some love by thanking them for their support. This can help increase customer loyalty and attract new clients to your business. For more information on how BBB can help your business succeed, visit BBB.org/get-accredited or check out BBB’s biz HQ for tips and resources.
