Small businesses are good for communities. Small businesses create local jobs, support local schools and charities, offer merchandise you won’t find at a big retailer, and provide excellent customer service. According to the US Small Business Administration New Mexico profile, small businesses employ 54.4% of the state’s workforce.
67 cents of every dollar spent at a small business stays in the community, according to estimates by
American Express. When we support small businesses we support a thriving community. Learn more about supporting small business at Shop Small.
Communities around the region work in different ways to support their small businesses. Find some examples below.
