It's become an annual tradition for me to take some time away from the Black Friday and Cyber Monday Madness to help promote Small Business Saturday here on my blog. And that's exactly what I'm doing again this year with this post.
Today, 11/26, is Small Business Saturday. If you have a small business or you want to help promote a small business (of ANY kind; not just beauty-related), please leave your business info (URL, any sales you may have going right now, etc.) in the comments below.
Please note that I will not moderate comments on this post as long as you're promoting a small business (NOT owned by a larger company/corporation) and the goods and/or services provided by the small business are legal and G-rated. Those are the only two limitations.
So please feel free to post in the comments and if you're not promoting a small business, I hope you will take a moment to read through these comments and help support any small businesses that you feel may be a good fit for you!
PS: and just because I have to say this, please be aware that Nouveau Cheap does not endorse or promote any of the businesses featured in the comments below. As with anything you purchase, please do your research and speak to the business owner (that's the beauty of small businesses--you can speak directly to the business owners!) with any questions you may have before making a purchase.
