Introducing Small Business Season

Make this holiday season your best yet.

Traditionally, the holiday season would lend itself one day for customers to support local, independent businesses during the gift-buying rush.

But we think small retailers deserve a whole season.

Independent retailers see sales increases starting in October.


For the past five years, the NRF reports November and December have averaged approximately 19% of annual retail sales.

How to participate in
Small Business Season

During this three-month push, independent retailers of every kind, from liquor stores to quilt shops, get the spotlight, tools, and foot traffic they've earned all year.

Point of sale software runs the registers at independent shops across the country

We know what this season takes: the staffing scramble, inventory bets, and late nights making sure the POS doesn't crash on Black Friday.

 

Small Business Season is how we share that knowledge with every retailer in our community

Not just with software — but with the tools, resources, and recognition to make this season easier.

Backed by a portfolio built for
small business retailers

Small Business Season is supported by SMB owners across the country — each one built to help a different kind of independent retailer run their business.
