🛍️ Crossville Chamber Invites Small Businesses to Shop Small Business Saturday on November 28

The Crossville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce has been named a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday, an annual initiative celebrating independent retailers and service providers. The chamber is now recruiting member businesses to participate in the November 28th event with a special incentive designed to boost foot traffic and community engagement.

📍 What’s Happening

Small business owners who are chamber members and open on Saturday, November 28th can join the Shop Small Business Saturday celebration. The chamber is offering a unique draw to participating businesses: the first 10 responses will receive a $25 gift card purchased from their business, which they can then give away to a customer who shops with them that day. ✨

💼 How to Participate

Interested business owners should email Melanie Graham at melanie.graham@crossville-chamber.com to confirm their participation. The chamber notes that some restrictions apply to the program, so interested owners should reach out directly for full details and eligibility requirements.

❤️ Why It Matters

Small Business Saturday, founded by American Express, encourages shoppers to support local, independent businesses during the busy holiday shopping season. By positioning Crossville as a Neighborhood Champion, the chamber is helping local retailers compete with larger retailers and online shopping during one of the year’s most important retail weekends. The gift card giveaway creates an added incentive for shoppers to visit participating stores and discover what local businesses have to offer. 🎁

For chamber members looking to boost November sales and connect with new customers, this is an opportunity to be part of a coordinated, community-wide shopping event with promotional support and visibility.
