Small Business Saturday is an annual holiday shopping tradition – just one part of the larger Shop Small movement that supports small businesses every day, everywhere.
For the three days after Thanksgiving, many merchants in downtown Davis celebrated Shop Small Weekend. The promotion began on Black Friday, Nov. 24 and continued through Sunday, Nov. 26. Those who made purchases at participating businesses were provided the opportunity to turn in tickets toward prize drawings worth up to $500 (and a total of $1,000 in gift card prizes).
The weekend included family-friendly activities and entertainment in downtown Davis. While supporting our wonderful merchants, community members visited E Street Plaza on the afternoon of Shop Small Saturday and listened to DJ AY spin a variety of festive and energetic holiday music!
Shoppers received a ticket for every $10 they spent at a participating merchant*. Each customer was able to earn up to 10 tickets per business, per visit.
Prizes ranged from $50 to $500 with a total of $1,000 value in Davis Downtown Gift Cards.
Congratulations to the lucky Shop Small Weekend Raffle winners that shopped downtown between Nov. 24 – 26. The customers that won prizes are:
