[OMS_MANAGERS] Shop Small Saturday Neighborhood Champion

[HARVEY W SCHUBOTHE]

I received the same last week. Our promotions committee is wrestling with what to move forward. Bandon traditionally does Santa for the kids, a Nog Walk, caroling through Old Town and then the Community Christmas Tree Lighting on Small Business Saturday. At the moment, we may be doing none of the above and, honestly, the COVID numbers in Oregon seem to be heading the wrong direction again!

[SAVE THE DATE]

Hi Darin,

The holidays are just around the corner – please save the date for the launch of the 2020 Neighborhood Champion application in late October! Your support has been integral to the Shop Small® movement and this year, you're pre-approved – on a first come, first serve basis.

We’d love to have you join us once again

Last year, you helped rally your community to come together and Shop Small. This year, it’s more important than ever for us to come together to encourage customers to support small businesses all season long. Our Neighborhood Champions will help promote safe, secure shopping and encourage customers to Shop Small and share joy during the holiday season and beyond.

Here’s what you can expect next

Keep an eye out in your inbox for an email containing a link to the 2020 application. Once you’ve applied and been approved, we’ll send you this year’s Shop Small merchandise. We’re looking forward to working with you again – let’s all come together to share joy.

Warmly,
The Shop Small Team at American Express

Greetings,



I've usually registered as a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business Saturday by this time of the year.  So far, I haven't seen the AMEX website updated for Shop Small Saturday  - Am I missing something?  Has anyone else been able to register as a Neighborhood Champion?  Is AMEX still doing that this year?



We're going to be hosting the Shop Small passport event, but for 3 weeks instead of 1 day, which means that I need to get started ASAP.



Any information or advice on COVID Shop Small would be much appreciated.



Thanks, guys!
