<p>Hi All, </p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Last year, in addition to Shop Small Saturday, we piloted a new “Locals Night” Shop Small event on the second Thursday of December. We used the same Shop Small branding colors to keep it cohesive. </p>
<p>Each participating business offered a discount or free item featured on a scratch-off ticket. Customers received a ticket when they spent $25 at a participating business, with prizes redeemable immediately. The model encouraged shoppers to spend $25, redeem
 their prize at the business noted on their winning ticket, and then keep shopping to earn another scratch-off, and so on.  Each scratch-off for this program was a winning ticket.</p>
<p>We printed 400 tickets for that evening and saw strong engagement with 18 participating downtown businesses. This year, we’re planning to expand the program. It builds directly on our regular Holiday Scratch-Off Program (November–December 31), which last
 year generated over half a million dollars in downtown spending with more than 20,000 tickets printed and distributed.</p>
<p>I’ve attached a few photos of the Locals Night scratch-offs for reference.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<br>
I wanted to reach out and see which of you participate in Small Business Saturday? The Saturday between Black Friday and Cyber Monday? We would like to do something for it this year, but we are so small and don’t have a ton of downtown businesses. We’re considering
 how we can promote shopping local and also get creative with possibly other ideas to draw crowds to our downtown during the event.<br>
<br>
Are there any cities with populations lower than 5,000 that participate in this event? I’d love to hear what you do for it in your towns.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much!</span></p>
