Shop Small, Shine Bright: Why You Should Go Big on Small Business Saturday

Let’s talk about Small Business Saturday. Sure, Black Friday and Cyber Monday get all the hype, but this is the real MVP of holiday shopping. Why? Because it’s your chance to support small businesses that are not only giving you the trendiest new styles but also making a real impact. And when those businesses are women-owned and women-run (like Katydid), you know they’re serving up style and a little bit of girl power. 

Why Shopping Small Is the Move

When you shop small, you’re not just buying cute boutique clothing or trendy accessories (though, yes, we’re obsessed with Katydid’s trucker hats and cozy slippers). You’re supporting someone’s dream and someone's family. You’re saying, "I see you!" and helping women entrepreneurs continue to thrive in a world that often tells them to play small. 

Plus, small businesses are the ones bringing you the unique, TikTok-worthy finds you won’t see at every big-box store. Need a fun 40oz tumbler cup to match your pastel aesthetic? Katydid’s got you. Want a graphic tee that screams, “I’m cool, but also cozy?” Look no further. These women-run businesses get it, and they’re here to make you feel like the main character.

Women-Run Businesses Are Changing the Game

Let’s be real: women-owned businesses are the backbone of our communities. They’re creating jobs, boosting local economies, and proving that yes, women can do it all. Shopping small on Small Business Saturday is a way to empower these women and show that you value their hard work. It’s more than a purchase – it’s an investment in a brighter future.

And here’s the tea: businesses like Katydid are redefining what it means to shop small. From affordable gifting ideas under $50 to stylish pieces that make your wardrobe pop, they’re proving that small businesses can dominate the retail game just as hard (if not harder) than the big players.

How to Go Big on Small Business Saturday

1. Shop Local and Online: Whether you’re hitting up your favorite small business IRL or adding to cart online, every purchase counts.
2. Spread the Word: Share your favorite small businesses on Insta or TikTok. A quick shoutout can help them reach more people.
3. Gift Small: Holiday season = gifting season. Stock up on unique finds from women-owned businesses like Katydid to make your gifts extra special.
