Created by The Boutique Hub, Pink Friday is a small business spin on the traditional Black Friday shopping experience, reminding people to #ShopSmallFirst. Black Friday is the largest shopping day of the year, but the sales and promotions from big box stores often overshadow the experiences that small businesses are focused on providing. The goal on Nov. 19 is to celebrate the businesses that are the backbone of local communities.
Pink Friday is strategically positioned the week prior to Black Friday to ensure that small businesses are given the first opportunity to help shoppers in their quest for holiday gifts. These businesses deserve their own weekend to shine.
“Pink Friday is a way to start something new and bring the enjoyment back to Holiday Shopping,” said Nolan James owner Melissa Bernero. “It seems that Black Friday took over Thanksgiving weekend and time with families. Not only does Pink Friday focus on Small Businesses and their importance in the role of holiday shopping, but more importantly, it occurs prior to that special time with family.”
