National Small Business Week

by John Sternal on May 20, 2009

small_businessThe week of May 17 – 23 is designated as National Small Business Week. Despite the current recession, small business continues to power the American economic engine providing millions of jobs and offering many recently working in Corporate America the chance to start anew by pursuing their hopes and dreams. For this, I say we’re shortchanging small business by honoring it during one week. Every day should be Small Business Day.

Considering there are 27.2 million businesses in America, and small business represents 99.9 percent of this number (companies with fewer than 500 employees), it’s safe to say that small business deserves better. And hopefully, our government will continue to recognize the value small business brings to the economy.

UnderstandingMarketing.com salutes each and every small business owner and is happy to provide a bevy of advice, information and resources in all areas of marketing and PR, including traditional marketing, advertising and email campaigns. Even with today’s rush towards social media marketing, we’re here to offer all kinds of helpful resources so that you gain a competitive advantage.

Hiya, I am really glad I have found this info. Nowadays bloggers publish only about gossips and web and this is really irritating. A good site with exciting content, that’s what I need. Thank you for keeping this website, I’ll be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Cant find it.
